Suggested action steps:
1) Blood test -- very cheap option
2) If shows Hepatitis C presence,then we can put you on medication that is 80% effective. In 2014,newer medicines are coming that are 90% effective. Somewhat costly.
3) Avoid Liver cancer which is deadly and very costly option.
Please don't wait and get checked ASAP.
