best pain medication for liver cirrhosis - #13143
I am really worried about my dad lately. He was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis a few months ago, and he’s been in so much pain. The doctors gave us some pain meds, but honestly, I’m wonderin’ if they are the best pain medication for liver cirrhosis, you know? He says the pain is mostly in his side and back, and it gets worse after he eats. It’s like he’s afraid to eat because of the pain, which spirals into other issues, like he’s not eating enough or drinking enough water. I read online about how some pain medications can be really hard on the liver, so I’m super concerned that the stuff they gave him might be makin’ things worse. I heard acetaminophen can be tough on the liver too, so what’s even safe anymore?? I mean, is there a best pain medication for liver cirrhosis that won’t damage his liver more? He had a follow-up last week, but when we asked about pain management, it felt like they didn’t really have good answers. Like, are there options we just aren't aware of? I just want that to help him without adding risk, you know? Any advice would be so helpful!
