Q: i have hep c and am experiencing chronin joint and muscle pain, will my md even give me something
Hello not sure that joint and muscle pain has anything to do with Hep c. Are you aware that there are treatments you can take to put the hep c into remission? Depending on the geno type you have as some are not as responsive to the treatments and may require more then 1 try at it.
Also your having hep c should not have any bearing on whether your MD will give you any meds for the pain. I was told the other day to try his for muscle pain and aches and that is Lakota you buy it in any dept or health store. Apparently works really well. All natural Indian medicine.
good luck
