I don't know the answer to your question but I'm just responding so
that you know you are not being ignored and that the people here do
care.
Although I had hep-c (succesfully treated so far) and I had a certain
amount of liver damage, I did not have a swollen liver so I haven't
experienced what you are going through.
Hopefully someone else will be able to add to this.
Best wishes to you.

I have had that same pain for 3 years.  It started during my first round of
tx (48 wks), continued through the second round (72 wks), and is still
there.  You might want to cut back on the vicodin if you are taking a lot of
it, since it contains acetaminophen.  Supposedly up to 1500 mg of aceta
daily is safe for heppers.  More than that may be toxic to the liver.
Personally, I use ibuprofen instead - just be sure to watch your kidney
function.

The liver doesn't have nerve cells in it.  So it's not your liver.
You are getting pressure on your gall bladder.  One of the common
ailments.   Time comes - you may have to have it excized.
