Hi all

Hi Everyone!

I'm new here and will be sober 20 days tomorrow. That's the
Longest I've gone without alcohol in 3 yrs!!! Anyway I'm having slight pain in my right side and I have a slightly swollen left ankle that hurts. I made the mistake of googling it and it came up w one of the results as cirrhosis and I am freaking out.

I don't have a PCP because my insurance recently changed. I don't know what to do. And I'm scared beyond belief.

Amy advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you

Hi and congratulations on your recovery.

It really is a good idea to see a dr if it's at all possible to find out what is going on. I hope that you feel better soon.

You've joined a great site....SR is an integral part of my recovery along with AA and Alanon, and smoking cessation.

Take time to read through the stickies of different forums, and all of the threads.

As stated it is best to see a Dr. or GNP for any medical concerns.

Here's a reputable and free website to help you locate free/sliding scale clinics in your area
