What Is The Treatment To Cure Pain From An Enlarged Liver, Heart, And Spleen?
my husband is in serious pain from an enlarged liver, heart, and spleen. We go Mon 13 for a liver biopsy and the 28th for a scope down the throat. his stomack is hugh and on the left side is bulging out. They say from his enlarged spleen. My question ----is there anything he can do for the pain? He cannot keep anything down either. soon as he eats, which I just give him mostly liquids, it comes up.
In terms of the vomiting, there are different potential causes based on the symptoms you have given: (1) the stomach may be compressed by the enlarged organs and this would prevent it from holding a lot of food or drink- in this case, he should use only small amounts at a time
(2)there may be electrolyte abnormalities due to the liver disease that may cause nausea
(3)pain can also be associated with nausea and vomiting
In terms of his pain management, it would be best to consult his doctors. Paracetamol can be associated with liver disease and cannot be used if his liver is impaired and the NSAIDs ( ibuprofen, aspirin, cataflam,naproxen) can cause bleeding in liver disease as well.
His doctors may consider opiates. I hope this well
