HI
Thank for asking to HCM
This is nonspecific type of complain and this is irrelevant to liver problem, if you do have certain kind of pain then I would advise you to wait and watch because you have a liver problem so looking to this it is not advisable to take any pain killing medicine, and I hope that this will go away on its own, nothing to worry about this if this does not subside then you have to see the clinician for further work up, I hope this answer would be helpful to you, have nice day.
