Have you ever had a biopsy? The viral load isn't as important as knowing how much damage has been done to your liver.

Hi there,

Sorry to hear you’re struggling with chronic pain. Hep C isn’t widely associated with pain as you describe it, although a few people do report arthritis type pain.

How do you manage it, and what has your doctor said about your condition?
