Spleen Pain... Posted: 12-15-04 01:20am
Back in july I began to have a pulling
sensation on my left side, I thought was
just a pulled muscle since i'd been
working out a lot and didn't think much of
it. The pain lasted for the rest of the
summer and into the school year, it wasn't
constant, but annoying. Then at the
beginning of october I was diagnosed with
mono and was only out for about two weeks
before I returned back to my routine
activities. I felt like my regular self
except that I was tired and the pain on my
left side had become more frequent. Then
about a week ago, I started to feel
exactly like I did in october when I first
got mono, so I went back to the doctor.
He told me that it was not possible for
mono to come back and it was just a viral
infection that brought out the same
symptoms as mono. I'm feeling better now;
however, now the pain on my left side has
gotten really bad, it keeps me up at
night, it hurts to stand up if i've been
laying down for awhile, it hurts to walk,
it even hurts to sit. It's also spread
from within my lower left rib right down
to my wait and across to my lower right
rib in a sort of l-shaped fashion. I was
wondering if it's possible that my spleen
is behind all this and if anyone else has
this kind of thing for this long too?
Does it seem normal that its been sore for
over 5 months now? Thanks a lot everyone

He told u it is imposible to get it back?
Its a disease that is in your body for
the rest of your life. It doesnt just go
away. You may never get the symptoms
again but its still there. I had
cortisone tablets for my splein and liver
and also liver tonic ( a herbal tablet).
If its still hurting id go to another Dr.
I went to my dr and she said it was a
viral infection and to come back in a week
by the next day I thought I was dying. I
was in alot of pain and very very tired.
Id go get it checked out asap

Sean- I'm curious to know what the outcome
was of your CT scan. I have the same
problem with pain when taking a deep
breath. I've only had the pain for about
3 days now, but it's making me nervous.

Ok so in October 2006 i was diagnosted
with mono. This year, well actuall this
month I was diagnosted again...i've been
on bed rest for about a month now...i get
sharp spleen pains....i could handle it,
it doesnt hurt that bad but i get the pain
everyday. I noticed it feels a little
weird when i take a deep breath...i've
told my doctor, i've mentioned it the
three times i've seen her this month but
it doesnt phase her. Its like she has a
"lets wait and see" attitude and i dont
know what else to do. Im considering a new
doctor.
I'm young and athletic...and i just want
to get back to being normal...healthy
enough to work out. I've been taking
vitamins and doing everything possible so
i wont get sick, i've literaly changed my
lifestyle...im still getting sick tho. N-e
advice????
Will removing my tonsils help get rid of
mono??? Write to me if you know, PLEASE!!!

This message is for JenJet. Are you still
reading this forum? I'm doing some
research for my 17 year old son. He was
diagnosed with mono 12 weeks ago. He
started to feel better so he went back to
working out. He's a football player and
faithfully lifts weights, runs and works
on agility. About 2 weeks ago what he
thought was his spleen really started
bothering him again. I took him to his
doctor and the doctor thought it was more
of a muscle pull in his core. My son is
still convinced it's his spleen. I took
him to a sports doctor and the doctor also
thought it was a muscle pull. My son is
going for an ultra sound today to find out
what it might be. Anyway, the similarities
between you and my son are that you are
both young, athletic and had been
diagnosed with mono. Are you over it yet?
What else have you found out? Was the pain
from your spleen? I'll post more once we
get the results from the ultra sound

My son had his ultrasound yesterday on his
spleen. The ultra sound showed that the
spleen was normal and that everything else
they could see on the image looked fine
too. His doctor felt that once again, the
pain is from a muscle pull. He said it
takes a minimum of a month to heal. No
lifting weights...at least heavy weights.
Light weights might be o.k. He also
suggested 2 alleve twice a day.
What made this pain difficult to diagnose
is that my son has had mono within the
past 4 months. I guess he just had two bad
things happen to him and they are not
related.
