Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Yes almost all painkillers belong to NSAIDS (non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs) group. And NSAIDS are contraindicated in hepatitis (inflammation of liver). So we need centrally acting painkiller for your pain relief. Tramadol is treatment of choice for pain management in liver patients. So contact your Healthcare provider and get prescription for Tramadol.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
