Welcome @Xavi
Sorry for your pain are you seeing a doctor and getting your liver monitored?
It’s hard to tell by symptoms because Hep B doesn’t have symptoms until the later stage.of the disease.
If you are getting monitored and your liver is fine, then I don’t think it is your liver, I’m not a doctor but I have had Hep B for 40 years.
When I did have general pain, I would usually think that was from my liver, but it always turned out to be something else😊
This is my experience only and I’m not a doctor. Hopefully someone else can chip in soon .
Blessings

Hi @Xavi,
Welcome to the forum and thanks for your question. That’s great that you are maintaining monitoring and doing well otherwise. With regards to your pain, it might be worth reading this thread (where I’ve just moved your post). There may be many reasons why you are experiencing this pain and it might be worth talking to your doctor about this.
Hope this helps,
Thomas
@ThomasTu I think it is logical to agree that after a few people have made the same complaint about the discomforts in the upper right quadrant of the belly that this matter is worth looking into. Probably worth researching to understand the cause of it and treatment measures
This discomfort is highly unbearable and it is one of the main reasons for fatigue in the day to day lives of chronic hepatitis b patients. This pain continues to weigh you down and disturb the flow of the day.
Kindly look into this and recommend what to be done about it. If you have any suggestions, please send it in.
It is quite unbearable and I am so tired of it.

Hi @Adedeji_Joseph,
Thanks for raising this point and I am sorry that this has impacted your life so deeply and significantly.
Indeed, many people do make this complaint as they are (rightly) warned that liver injury can cause upper right quadrant pain. The way doctors confirm whether the liver is the case is the increase in ALTs - which is part of the confirmation that it is liver-related. However, many things can cause this symptom, so it is part of the diagnostic process to look at other causes if ALTs are not raised - indeed, muscular and stomach related issues are also common.
That said, I think there needs to be greater understanding of the extent to which liver disease may be the underlying cause if ALTs are not increased. I am not dismissing this, I do think it may be worthwhile, but I mention the above just to give a bit more context of the thinking pattern of doctors and scientists.
Hope this helps,
Thomas
