Oddly enough my spleen is more than 2 times the size of normal at 24 cm. But I get no pain or problems eating. I only know it's that big because of ultrasound

[Hidden]

But if it hurts def get to that doctor love xx

Yea that's how I feel from my doctors as well. Though the hematologist seemed most interested in it and I believe but could be wrong that spleen issues are in the hematological area of study as they usually are cause by blood related diseases. It seems if you say spleen around a hepotologist the answer is portal hypertension.. thee end. Lol I have found that frustrating personnaly.

Hi Lynne,

So sorry to hear you are in pain and not getting much from your doctor. February seems a long way out - can you call your liver doctor and give your symptoms and maybe get some answers??

I'm pretty sure my husband hasn't had any pain in the spleen area, at least he has not said so and I'm pretty sure he would mention it - he can get a mite grumpy when something hurts - hence why I am Nana, but he is Grumpa LOL

Best wishes and a Happy and healthier New Year,

Mary

Hope you get to the bottom of this soon Lynne.

Personally I haven't had any pain in the spleen area. I know it's enlarged because of ultrasound scan.

My left hand side visibly bulges out after a meal, between the bottom rib and the top of the pelvic bone, which I imagine is my full stomach pressing on the enlarged spleen - but it hasn't caused any pain yet.

Hope you feel better soon.

Hi Lynne, yes I get pain in liver and spleen area, I only got diagnosed with a fatty liver about 2 years ago and had no follow up so just try and manage it with diet etc...but I have good days/weeks and bad ones, my spleen pain is good at the mo but with all the overindulgence at Christmas my liver is aching a bit! Can I ask what your diagnosis ir condition is? Xx

[Hidden in reply to Emzhatton]

Yes, I have Nash with some fibrosis

I ended up seeing an out of hours GP last night, he just have me stronger pain meds. It was the worst pain I have ever had. Hope you are doing ok. Love and hugs Lynne xxxx

Hi Lynne. Hope that pain has eased now.I remember having that level of pain only too well. When it happened it usually started late in the day and kept me awake all night. I never really worked out what caused it but suspected it was eating something that had a higher level of fat in it. Sometimes a bump would appear in my right hand side just below the ribs and would generally go down after about 12-18 hours. Not at all pleasant!! I feel for you. Alf

Thank you. I was at out of hours GP last night as the pain around lunch liver and spleen and also in the middle was excruciating, it's the worst pain I've ever had, he just have me oramorph to last until Monday. I hope you are ok. Take care Lynne

[alfredthegreat in reply to Hidden]

I found that keeping my diet fairly bland really helped. Fish, chicken, veg, fresh or homemade soups, yogurts,poached egg. It was when I strayed from that I was usually in trouble.I remember once having bacon and eggs when I hadn't had that pain for some time.....Big mistake!!!. Remembering the pain put me off doing that one again! I'm doing ok thanks. Pain in my back is a lot less today and I'm being careful not to do anything more to it. Hang on in there. Alf

Thank you. I do keep it bland and I can't cheat very much as I've got our sons and my hubby keeping tabs on me!!! Take care Lynne
