liver ultrasound

[Bouncer]

I've had 3 blood panels specficly for my liver bro - I have no disease like that - staring at the latest results. My doc says they have no idea since the ultrasound came back ok and nothing is showing up in the blood to spike it like this. It fucking hurts like a bastard tho man - honestly just real tired of waiting for the next thing to tell me what's wrong to find out the same shit: my liver hurts like fuck. Sorry but it's a ranting type of situation.

no i dont blame you for wanting to rant.

this is pretty odd. could there be any supplements your taking, any food your eating, and liquid your drinking that is some how tainted with something?

i never heard of liver values raising like this when you are NOT taking any kind of drug and living a healthy life.

you sure you don't have hepatitis or something. 466 is really high bro. what does your doc say about the new levels?

for fucks sake - ALT 466 U/L - this shit is getting out of hand - just got the last lab in the mail today, no wonder it hurts like a bastard. That specialist better figure this shit out:fight::fight:

You very well could be right, withdrawal from opiates synethic or natural can play havoc with the body. IMO you are doing the right thing in checked out by specialist...good luck.

thx bro - when your ALT values go from 48 - 129 - 240 etc .... when you get CLEAN - it's like wtf? I can't tell you how fucked up and long methadone w/d's are. If the specialist finds nothing abnormal I will be pretty well set on the fact it's the long term sides that can take months not weeks.

I don't touch apap or any pain meds bro - my body still fluctuates like crazy from methadone withdrawals - that's honestly the only theory I have for it - I mean for 4 weeks I was sweating 24/7 literally - couldn't drink enough water and couldn't stomach much solid food - it's been the past couple weeks that I've even been able to sleep 6 hours a night. The long term withdrawal sides from methadone can take months (getting back to normal sleep, stomach keeping food in solids - nuts aching like crazy). Only reason I bring this up is because it could be a cause / culprit in it.

It's possible that you have a deep abdominal strain or tear, although that wouldn't explain the ALT fluctuations. Avoid Tylenol and other otc meds as much as possible.

i think you should take it easy on the lifting. go in and train for the pump but dont push it. anything that is giving you physical pain is really your bodys warning sign.

I'm dieting down - training for the pump is all I really do now anyway lol, I had to cut out deads / squats / pullovers - but aside from that I'm 10-12 rep range and just squeezing it out bro - I'd over train way to easily right now - trying to respect my body in that regard.

you on any kind of liver protectants? milk thistle etc..? how much water you drinking? do they think its ok for you to keep taking meds? i wonder what would happen if you came off all meds?

I'm not taking any meds bro - haven't been for a bit. I drink about 1-1.5 gallons a day - I take milk thistle 3x a day.

ultra sound checked out(had whole abdomen done) - small fatty deposit like BS said - but the fact the ALT values are fluctuating like a bitch and for the last 3 years (the clinic I was at did bloodworks every 6 months) have been fine, they really do not know. My blood panel was done twice specifically for the liver - the only thing elevated was my ALT values - I'm going to see a GI specialist - got the ref last friday from my doc - will see where it goes from there. Right now it's just a pain, literally lol.

so when do you get a clear answer on what the deal is with the liver and what you need too do when you fix it?

I can tell you this much - I'll vouch for the ALT levels spiking after workouts - I just got back from AM chest and it feels like tyson went to town on my right side haha - give it 30 minutes and the shit dies down - weird. I have a few theories about it but I'm just trying to ignore it and just eat clean drink my water and keep going with life, nothing I can do about it now but :weights:

I had several ulta sounds on my heart and the doctor would read them, then give me the results on the spot. In my case however the ultra sound was done at the same place as the doctor has his office. CCK levels are more important than ALT levels, a hard workout will shoot up ALT levels.

some of you know my ALT values were pretty high a few weeks ago - the shit has not died down - I got a complete bloodwork panel done on the specifics and the only thing at all off from being right where it should was my iron was slightly low. I have to go in tomorrow for ultrasound of my entire abdomen - the whole 8 hours no food prior etc, I'm just curious if you guys have ever had this done and if so are the results like an ekg once it's done it's done and they can show/tell you what's up if anything right there?
