Liver pain while on DAA
Hello. I'm ten weeks into a 12 week treatment and over the past week I've been having pain under my right rib cage. I really want to finish this treatment. Should I just keep going for the remaining two weeks? It's just more irritating than anything. I have no other side effects that are listed for DAA treatment. I'm on Zepatier (elbasvir/grazoprevir).
Hi
. Zepatier can make liver symptoms worse in some people. We are not medical experts, but I would definitely suggest messaging your doctor ASAP to see whether you should continue treatment or whether you might at least need monitoring while you finish treatment. Best to be safe. Keep us updated, if you don't mind. I'll be thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member) Hi. Since posting the pain has gone away. But I have messaged my hep nurse that I had seen when starting treatment. She has said since it has stopped to continue on but if it returns I should go see the Dr. Thank you for the reply. Thought it might be important to let others know that this can happen to some people.
Thank you LoriI am so glad to hear that you are feeling better. It would have been disheartening, I'm sure if you'd had to stop treatment so close to the end. I hope the rest of your treatment goes smoothly and that you are soon free of the virus! Thanks for the update. Sending lots of healthy vibes your way. - Lori (Team Member)
