I am caregiver for my mom coping with HE. She just started experiencing severe back pain in her left side. A heating pad helped at first when the pain came and went but now the pain is constant and worsening. She's afraid to take over the counter pain relievers of any kind due to the HE.
Has anyone else experienced pain on the LEFT side? I know the liver is on the right side so it's confusing.
thanks for any info

Don't believe it's liver related. Has she had imaging done recently? Gas pain is one thing that comes to mind specifically related to lactulose.

Glower girl...the liver itself is onthe right side. and generally gall bladder pain is in thee middle or right also. When Mike had is pancreatis attackes there were severe and I think on the left side. But it wasn't a tylenol pain, it was an ER pain!!! I think she'd know. When in doubt, though, call the doc and check it out.
Hugs,

I agree with MamaLama... Call her doctor. If the pain is discomforting to her, it could be she pulled something or it could be a more serious issue. Don't wait until it becomes worse. Only my opinion. Hope your mom feels better
