Liver met pain.

Hi Lily0403 that doesn't sound very pleasant. Have you spoke to your doctor about this? It sounds like you need some pain meds. I get a vey similar pain, but mine is my gallbladder. Hope it eases soon for you xx 

Hi. Yes I spoke to the nurse on the chemo ward and he said to call GP and my MacMillan nurse. I have emailed her and my GP surgery said to call in the morning. So I will do that. I have tramadol and amitriptyline for pain relief but I can still feel it. Hopefully it will be nothing serious, but it does help to talk on here, even if no one replies, it gets it off your chest. Thank you for replying.  Take care.  X

Hi Lils, I have cirrhosis of the liver due to treatment drugs for cancer and my GP doesn't deal with anything to do with that at all. I go to a specialist Liver Clinic and they are very attentive. The Professor in charge has given me his email address and his mobile number to contact in an emergency as he said things can change quite quickly. My liver is not working at full capacity but I feel they are on top of it.

Do you see a liver specialist or is it oncology who deal with everything? I think if that is the case, you could possibly ask your GP or oncologist for a referral to the specialists!

Any type of pain is hard to deal with, so if what you are taking isn't working, please tell them to try something else!

Hi Annette. 

I'm under the oncologist. My GP is always on top of things when it comes to cancer patients, I'm very fortunate to have such a great GP. He is going to see me this morning to "make a plan". 

I have emailed my MacMillan nurse and she will tell the oncologist so hopefully will hear soon. 

Thank you for replying I hope you are doing well. Cancer likes to keep us all on our toes.  Take care.  

Good you are getting support from your GP.

pain is horrible and there are lots of things you can have most of us seem to get the slow release morphine which is what I take and works well for me xx

Ruthjp, I've not tried those. I will ask about them. Thank you. 

Update. 

My GP thinks I have a infection in my gall bladder. So I have some antibiotics and antacids to try and clear it up. He is going to phone me Wednesday to see how I am.

Hi Lils, So pleased you have seen your GP and he is a good support. I must say, I too have a great GP!

Lets hope the script he gave you, clears things up! If not then do ask about slow release morphine, I had that with a quick release tablet for breakthrough pain! Good luck. Please let us know how you get on!

That’s good he is looking after you x

Ouch lils that sounds very painful! Glad the GP is keeping an eye, and hopefully it will settle soon xx
