What causes pain in liver and spleen area?
Patient: Yes, for 3-4 years I have been taking a heavy dose of pain pills. I have had some pains in my liver area, i assumed were from the fatty liver that I also have. Recently I have been have some intermittent dull pains in the area of my spleen. I realize I may be damaging these organs. Will stopping make the organs better or is the damage already done? Today is the first day I have not taken any pain pills in a very long time. Doctor: Hi thanks for asking question...Pain killer if taken excess it might damage liver...So excess intake and self medication always avoided...Do your LFT profile....Meanwhile rest liver with low fat diet.Avoid alcohol.Fruits more...Green leafy veg more...Trans fat food and cheese, burger , butter etc taken less.Regular exercise done....Now from today avoid injudicious use of pain killer ....Drug not affect spleen.Pain over that area might from muscular strain.Take care.
