<s>[INST] I have stage 4 cirrhosis of the liver. Hospitalized Apr to May 2012, I continue to  have pain that compares to that cramp in the liver area you get from running. I stay well hydrated with water, on a low sodium diet. Will this type pain persist permanently? Pain level varies between 1 to 4. No fluid build up, not inflamed. I had another ultra sound today to see if surrounding area may be damaged. [/INST] Hi and welcome to Healthcare magic.Thank you for the query.well,certain degree of pain n lver is o be expected since there is digestion abnormality and irritation of glisson .but it should be succesfuly treated by anlagetics,even opioid if necessary. Also, there can be associated somach or gallbladder and pancreatcissue so it should be ruled out first.Wish you good health. Regards </s>
