Hi all,
i know there is currently a post on left side pain. But, please, with my anxiety, let me start one with my situation.
I am 26 years old. For 3.5 years, I have severe anxiety, ocd, etc. This all started when my wife got pregnant with our 1st kid. I never really ever was concerned with my health, but as soon as she got pregnant, it changed my thinking, for the worst. She's now pregnant with our 3rd child. I had neck pain from muscle tension 3.5 years ago and diagnosed myself with lymphoma since neck pain=lymph nodes, lymph nodes=cancer. This has stuck around unfortunately for the last 3.5 years. I have tons of tests, etc over the last 3.5 years.
What really has me whacked right now is the pain I have in my upper left area of my ribcage. It's intermittant. I doesn't come after I eat, I could just be sitting around on an empty stomach and it'll hurt. I can eat a full, big meal with no problems. It just really bothers me that it;s my spleen. Of course, swollen spleen=cancer. I already had mono, 6 years ago, so it ain't that. The pain with move around a little bit, but mainly in the area at the edge of my ribs. Been to the doc, they don't feel anything, they said if it were my spleen, they'd be able to feel it. I know I can get an unltrasound, etc, but I don't think I could go through it.
If I push around by my ribs, it seems llike I can feel something move, but, I can't feel it with my hand, but I can feel it on the inside move around. I wish I didn't worry about it. I wish they pain would go away. I hope it;s just gas....
