yes I had exactly the same experience,it went during treatment but returned post treatment despite clearing the virus-it did concern me tho-I was convinced the virus had returned.It's an odd one isn't it?
Got my 8 week results. Still undetected. I guess mild aching is something else.Doc mentioned it might be gal stones..Who knows!
Im thinking its inflammation. .I will try the massage and call doc on Monday and schedule blood work. .This has really msde me nervous. .thanks guys
Although some people claim they really do feel liver pain, I can tell you that throughout my time with End Stage Liver Disease and up to my transplant, I never, ever felt pain in my liver. As pointed out, the liver really has no nerve endings.
Sometimes, the pain can be from digestive issues which meds can bring on.
I suggest you try doing a simple massage on yourself ( it can't hurt) Start on the left side under your ribs, and massage in a circular direction down and across your belly and up the other side and across, under the rib cage. Do it several times. It might help.
Good luck.

The liver does not really have nerve endings so it's unlikely its actually liver pain. But I don't blame you for associating the thought and experience with the last time you treated. Still it never hurts to bring up everything that is happening with you on your follow-up visits.
I hope you continue to post how you are progressing♫
Hi there Turnbo. Itching around or near the liver is NOT indicative of a relapse. Liver disease and/or certain meds can cause itching but it's significance is not because the virus is back.
There are also likely 1,000 other reasons to itch including stress or anxiety.
