Left Side Pain Maybe a Spleen Issue
Posted: 01-24-05 04:51am

Hi, friday evening (1-20-05) I was sparring with one of my instructors, and seems my left side below my ribs was a target for harder than usual contacts. Later that night, about 3 hours later, as I was laying down relaxing and my left side all of a sudden felt like I had a strong muscle cramp. The pain kinda had a center to it but I could not pinpoint it. I thought I had an injured rib but it wasn't. I had taken some advil for the pain, it seemed to goaway after awhile so I went to sleep. At 2am I woke up and my left side was really hurting. I thought, oh yea, I just needed to use the restroom. So I did, and nothing unusual. Took some more advil, went to sleep. And at 4am or so I woke up with the same pain. I tried to find a way to laydown that would not hurt. Seemed if I slept on my right side it was almost manageable. Was able to go back to sleep after a bit. Then got up about 8am. While trying to go back to sleep I was thinking and I realized that I didn't eat dinner the night before because I really had no urge and the pain was an interuption to my normal routine.

The same thing happened satarday and sunday night as I layed down to relax and watch some tv.

Now here it is 1-24-05 about 2am. Because this pain seems to hit when I laydown for a bit. I do not lay down during the day because it isn't something I do so I don't know if the pain would occur during the day or not.

When I woke up sat. And sun. (late around 8am) my side did seem to feel better. However I usually wake up around 5:30am-6am every morning.

This pain is kind of a burning sensation but I cannot tell for sure. I have not felt anything like this before. I have had injured ribs, arms, legs but nothing broken.

I was hoping that friday night's pain issue was a single incident. Now I am very concerned because I am still having pain issues and now that I think about it I have not eaten meals like I normaly do. I didn't even feel like ordering a pizza for the weekend.
