Suffering From 4th Stage Cirrhosis. Pain In Liver Area While Running. Will This Pain Be Permanent?

I have stage 4 cirrhosis of the liver. Hospitalized Apr to May 2012, I continue to have pain that compares to that cramp in the liver area you get from running. I stay well hydrated with water, on a low sodium diet. Will this type pain persist permanently? Pain level varies between 1 to 4. No fluid build up, not inflamed. I had another ultra sound today to see if surrounding area may be damaged.
