RichardDD was the only post I read that seemed medical and informed. Do you have anymore information or links?

Here is my story:

recently my Brother had a ruptured spleen and they don't know what caused it. I was searching and found this. I was healthy as dog before this running, walking, cycling before. Now I'm am overweight and full of cancer fear.

I have had this pain for 12 years and suffered sleeping and during waking hours. All my other/now pains seemed to start after this. I had a pain in my left hip joint that went down my leg and caused me to have to often sit down and not stand or walk very far. Also pain in my big left toe started, I thought this was maybe due to my running. But is got worse and spread to the other 3 toes and arch of my left foot and now has started in the same place on my right foot. All the while this pain in my left side persists. The pain in the left side is dull most often, bloated feeling, tingling, gurgling at times, burning feeling often with sometime pricking or semi sharp pain. The Dull pain never subsides, althought sometimes I don't seem to notice it. I believe the stress factor, can have a part of it, but it seems more than that.

can Spleen, parasite, limedisease, ulcer or gastro problems be a foundation for this? I did read Dr.Sarno's book on Tension Myosisis syndrome when dealing with my leg problem, he attributes about 10 chronic pains to this phenonemon.

Any feedback?
