Quit Drinking, How Long Until the "liver Pain" Goe Posted: 06-23-05 18:48pm
Question: how long does it usually take
for the pain to go away after the last day
of drinking?
I am like the original poster of this
topic in that i've been drinking heavily
for 10 years (31 y/o male)....And 4 days
ago had my first bout of "liver
pain"....Pain in the right-upper quadrant
of my abdomen.
I haven't drank since 4 days ago when the
pain first appeared, and now the pain is
manageable in that it is subsiding enough
to be able to sleep....And I expect it to
go away soon.
I am going to experiment tonight, and
drink a beer very slowly to find out if
the pain is really due to a liver problem
or if it was some kind of muscle
strain....Maybe have a couple beers to see
if the pain does come back, and if it
does, then I know what I am up against.
Thanks for any help,
k

Man, you are literally playing with your
life! If you have been diagnosed w/hepc
or liver damage, I promise you that your
"experiment" should not be considered a
form of pain management !
I'm not gonna "preach" to you as I am a
firm believer in "live and let live".
Just hurts my heart to hear of another
young life is going to be taken because of
alcohol. Such a big deal is made out of
weed and cigarettes and I would bet "the
farm" that statistics would prove that
alcohol kills more people and precludes
more health issiues/problems than tobacco.
They wanna talk about secondhand smoke,
uuummm, what about all of the innocent
people that are killed or paralyzed or are
reduced to a vegetative state as a result
of someones drinking?
Like I said man,not "singin' to da' choir"
it just hurts my heart for you as I know
the long agonizing death resulting from
drinking too much. I've been watching my
beautiful 40 year old sister suffering
from the ravishing affects of alcohol for
5 years. Believe me, it's not pretty.
The really sad part is that she has a 10
year old son that has watched her suffer
for half of his life and now,over the next
few weeks, he will watch her die. And go
to her funeral.
Please don't take your pain lightly
bye the way, yes, I drink, occasionally
and no , I don't smoke. I chose to quit a
few years ago, but I do still enjoy a
cigarette occasionally.
Good luck
