Guest guest Posted December 2, 2001 Report Share Posted December 2, 2001 I am confused about the use of dilaudid. I never heard of pain management in the treatment of cirrhosis. Are you sure he doesn't just have a hernia? Perhaps fibromyalgia?<br><br> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 2, 2001 Report Share Posted December 2, 2001 He definately has cirrhosis. The pain is from the ascities, I believe but I will ask his doctor about it. He also has Hepatitis C which didn't respond to interfeuron/rebetrol. He complains about pain all the time. Thanks for your input!!!<br> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 2, 2001 Report Share Posted December 2, 2001 ,<br><br>I have never heard ascites to be painful, annoying perhaps, but not painful.<br><br>I have been thinking he has gallstones. Gallstones are painful. Also if the gallbladder is blocked biliary cirrhosis occurs.<br><br>Unfortunately there is no cure for Hepatitus C.<br><br> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2001 Report Share Posted December 4, 2001 Storm.....<br>I understand the plight with your husband somewhat. Each are somehow a little different I will state though to begin with. But....In saying that I also experience severe craps....It is mostly caused from a lack of POTASSIUM...When ever I have had bad cramps I take POTASSIUM...it works! You can get the 99 milligram from health food stores or whatever. If the cramps are bad I have taken one every hour or 2 then started spacing it as it got less. Ascites ....I have also and the best you can do is make sure NO SALT IN FOOD.I mean read the labels if he wants to keep off the fluid. You can write me personelly if you want at R_Underwood@...
