Hi, I had hepatites C(3a) in 2000. Then i took interfaron for 6 month and then it came negative. After 2004,2007 and 2008 i haven again test it and it again came negative. But last 1 month, i am getting pain in upper part of my stomac, back pain and knee pain...
It doesn't necessarily mean hepatitis again. Pain in upper part of stomach could be local reasons, gastric problem, food heaviness etc. You haven't mentioned any changes in urine color and any loss of appetite etc. Bile salts, pigment tests of urine is important as also serum bilirubin, ESR. Back and knee pain is due to muscle skeletal reasons and may go by physiotherapy, cycling, hot water bath, Yoga etc. YOGA is important for you. Further progress of knee pain and back pain will halt and improve rather. So need is to investigate at least simple tests to rule out any possibility as per your apprehension about hepatitis. Back and knee pain should be managed now without waiting for tests. Hope it helps you.
