What Causes Upper Right Quadrant Pain When Diagnosed With Hepatitis C Infection?
Question: I was diagnosed with hep c cirrhosis 7 yrs. ago . I'm having upper right quadrant pain and hurts when I move especially under right breast . what could be the cause .
Brief Answer:
Several possible causes
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM. It can be extraabdominal pain caused by neuromuscular disorders of abdominal and thoracic wall such as pulled muscle, pinched neeve rtc. in this case this will pull back on its own.
It may be caused by progression of your primary disease or by some other intraabdominal causes such as gallbladder stones, pancreatitis, liver cyst or tumor. In some cases stomach ulcer may manifest on this way. If pain persist, you should do ultrasoiund or even better CT scan of abdomonal cavity to rule out thi that I ve mentioned. Wish you good health. Regards
