Pain from a Liver Biopsy a month ago?!
Question:
Pain from a Liver Biopsy a month ago?
I had a liver biopsy a month ago for Hep B. The biospy was very painful for me. Everything seemed to heal okay, but I get knot like knife stabing pains were my liver is still. My doctor said it could be because I blead a little after the surgery. Its a month now the pain has gotten worse and not getting better at all. Anyone have a Clue?
Answers:
A biopsy is painful at the time but worsening pain a month later is cause for concern. I would suggest you visit another doctor for a second opinion, and if there is a delay there, go to your local hospital. It sounds like your liver is still bleeding or very bruised, and it is much better to be safe than sorry so I hope you seek immediate help.
