cirrhosis pain - #13789
I am really worried because my dad has been experiencing some serious cirrhosis pain. Like, he was diagnosed with cirrhosis a few months ago and it seemed manageable at first, but over the last few weeks, the cirrhosis pain has gotten way worse. He keeps saying his abdomen feels heavy and swollen, and he's complaining about this throbbing pain in his side. Last week, we went to the doctor and they explained that it could be related to the cirrhosis, but they didn't give us many answers on how to ease the pain. I’m confused because sometimes it seems like the pain gets better for a bit, and then it spikes again. He’s been trying to eat healthy and everything, but I can't help but feel like we’re missing something about this cirrhosis pain management. Like, is there something else we should be doing, or certain medications that might help? I'm worried because he doesn't want to burden us, but I can see how much pain he's in and it just doesn't seem fair. Are there any tips or alternative treatments we can explore? Anything that might ease his cirrhosis pain would be a blessing right now.
