I have ascites ,cirrhosis NASH- I went for "draining" ( 1 1/2 Qts.)just last Tues. I think I must have had two pockets of fluid

because my upper abdom. is really swollen and very uncomfortable. Is it possible to have another procedure performed so soon after the other? I am also on meds for fluid retention (which was increased) but it doesn't seem to be helping. The dr. says shunting may be the next step- but I understand that 30% of patients develop encephalitis after this procedure- and I sure don't want that to happen!!! Any natural solutions?
On another note: I also have been having a numbness in my left thigh that comes and goes. Now that numby sensation is also occuring in my tongue, mouth and cheek area- what's going on? Should I see a neurologist?
