Hi
NASH and liver cirrhosis cause portal hypertension and edema. To avoid further complications, restrict salt intake. Take Tab. spironolactone 75mg once daily for edema.
For bodyache and joints pain, I would advice you to stop tab. oxycodone as it is contraindicated in liver failure. You can take simple analgesics like Tab. dicloran 1 tablet thrice daily. apply dicloran gel over swollen and painful joints.
Hopefully it helps. Thanks for contacting.
