Have Back Pain, Fever And Headache. All Tests Done. Diagnosed As Lesion In Liver. Taking Medication. What To Do?
Hi I am a 42 year old female weighing 46kg. I had severe pain in right hand side doctor put down to a viral infection as I had pain across my back bra strap area and fever and chills which has gone away but after having xray, ultrasound and ct scan they have detected a 2 to 3 cm lesion on my liver. I am going to have mri and see a gastroenterologist week after. Have dull ache in right hand side and middle of stomach in middle of diaphragm almost like irritated stomach. I was on voltaren for shoulder bursitis then put on tramadol 50g and a norspan patch 5g which I have completely stopped since report of lesion? I have to wait two weeks for these appointments. Can anyone help me with relief I am worried as mother with 2 children.
Many thanks Toni

Hi, you are 42 years, weighing 46 kg, after fever you had a lesion on the liver, It could be an old one or may be due to medicines you have used for fever.
Till you go to gastroenterologist you can use some medicines for relief of gastric symptoms. i usually prescribe ranitidine, or omeprazole in such situation for temporary relief. Thank you.
