Having Hepatitis C, Diabetes, High BP. Having Soreness, Discomfort In The Lower Left Abdomen. Reason?

I have Hep C,Type II Diabetes and HiBldPres. I am 66 yrs old. I am under doctor's care. I have been experiencing discomfort on my left side about 3-4" from my belly button. I started feeling "soreness" in the area about a month ago. I am now feeling annoying discomfort. My middle area is extending which I believe is from my Hep C, ascites(sic) as well. I feel discomfort when I walk and sit. I don't feel discomfort when I lie down. I believe that I should see my doctor (duh) but I am hoping not to. I will see her on 7/2 for my Diabetes, prescription renewal and 3 month glucose testing. Teri

Hello,

You're an elderly person with Diabetes, hypertension and hepatitis C.
The abdominal discomfort may be from Hepatitis C.

But in long standing Diabetes patients develop a complication called Diabetic Gastroparesis in which there may be a similar complaints.

Consult you doctor for more information and help.
