           ive had this virus since 1969.  when i was at your stage, i would get pain on the right under the ribs, only when i drank booze.  many things can cause that right side discomfort.  Gas can also cause that pain.      barry

Hepatitis C has no symptoms at all in most people. Stage 1 liver disease should also have no symptoms as the liver is working well. Only patients with very advanced stage 4 liver disease typically have any pain in the liver area and that is because their liver is failing or they have fatal liver cancer.

Depending on how bad "really bad" is to you, go to the ER or call your gastroenterologist now. It is not normal to have any abdominal pain especially at your age. It is most likely not liver related but could be serious and needs to be examined.

Get help now.
Only a doctor can diagnose the problem.
