i was diagnosed with cirrohsis of the liver 6 months ago. I began suffering from bad joint pain and general body aches. I get very stiff and sore after sitting or remaining in the same period for fairly short periods of time. I do not consume any alcohol and follow a diet of low fat , low sodium and limited protein. Is this a normal result of this disease? Are there any adjustments I can make to help remedy this?
Hi, thanks for writing in. Cirrhosis associated with arthritis could be due to some autoimmune disorder. You need to under investigations for autoimmune causes of arthritis. You should consult a rheumatologist for the exact investigations to be done. Regards
