I was drinking heavy just twice a week for a couple months then it turned into 4 days a week then that matured on into everyday.I was cheap at the time so I drink about 2 bottles of mad dog 20/20 or more everyday somtimes less for a couple weeks. I was going through some depression and depended on drinking as my only alternative. I noticed a lil swelling in my right and left lower sides and could only feel it if I put pressure on it everytime I would drink heavy after maybe just 3 days. I ignored this and kept on drinking for a couple days heavy then woke up the next day with soar kidneys which went away after a 2 or 3 days and irrtation of the insides maybe swelling around the adominal area not pain but just awareness of the feeling and this went on for a couple weeks. Its been about a month all pain is gone but I feel a lil mild irritation in the liver and somtimes a lil pain around inside like I said though nothing serious just lil mild pains. I would go to the doctor but have no insurance and also I dont really think its that serious because I havent had any other symptoms just the minor pain. I've talked to other people some have had this some havent. What I dont get is I know people who drink about a 24 pack of beer everyday and have been for about over a year now and have no problems at all so I doubt it could be anything serious since it hasnt really been a long-term problem just matured into alcoholism for maybe a month. Personally I think since im a really skinny person that could of made a difference and the fluids maybe built up inside my adominal cavity and took a while to get rid of which caused irritation and swelling in there. I read in another thread it could take 6 months for liver enlargement to go down so my liver could just be returnin back to its normal state since its only been about a month and a half or more. Has anybody had similar symptoms or problems? What do you think it might be? I've been kind of worried about it since its somthing new for me hopefully its nothing serious if I could get some feedback it would be appreciated. Thanks
