Cirrhosis of the Liver Symptoms, Causes, Stages &Treatments

Joint Swelling

Check the joints around your long bones for swelling. This might be the result of long-term inflammation in the connected tissues surrounding those bones. It would be very painful and uncomfortable. So, if you notice recurring swelling at your ankle or knee, it might be a clear symptom of cirrhosis of the liver. Joints in your shoulders or fingers might also feel arthritic. Keep in mind that this condition would also be caused by lung cancer. Thus, make sure to rule out the cause. [4]
