I've recently cut down drinking beer A LOT as 8 months ago I started getting discomfort in my liver area. I'm 26 and until 8 months ago since I was 20 I was drinking 4 pints of lager a night and more on the weekend! Doctor did blood tests and ultrasound scan and everything came back perfect but although I have since stopped drinking altogether during the week and cut down on weekends I still get discomfort especially after I drink a few beers the night before! Could I have a perfectly functioning liver but still be damaged and causing pain!
Don't know what to do any advice would be greatly appreciated! 👍
Hi Aaron, you have been to your GP once so he is aware of your problem with alcohol. Go back to him & ask his advice, you need support.
You could also Google Alcoholics Anonymous, I am sure they will be able to point you in the right direction.
Good luck Aaron
Hello aaron22916, I have hepitsis C they say. I drank like a fish all the time. I figured out if I cut down things would be o kay. My liver kept telling me different. It has been 10 years of not drinking for my liver to start healing its self., In top of drinking I had help c so my liver was dying. Went to doctor a month ago for blood work all came back normal. So if your still having an achyiv
liver. I would stop drinking altogether and start taking milk thistle. I am a true believer in milk whistle and it's powers to help heal a liver.
I wasn't aware AA gave medical advice!! At least the few I went to didn't. They are not medics and the last place I'd go for advice. That's only my view
