Spleen :: Enlarged Spleen - 15cm Normal CBC
i had my annual physical exam month ago. CBC was normal, but on ultrasound my spleen appeared enlarged, approx. 15cm. Month later my spleen was still enlarged, 14cm. I did a CBC + LDH blood test again. Again everything appeared normal on CBC and LDH was 200 (it said that under 330 it was OK). Doc told me not to worry but to have a new ultrasound and CBC (+LDH) in 6 months. I really do not feel like waiting that long. Sometimes during the day I feel extremely tired and sleepy. Any suggestions what to do next other than waiting for 6 months.

Why is there NO RESEARCH being done on Spleen Hemangiomas? Are doctors making more money by just removing them and then dealing with the poor health thereafter? I want to know how to reduce the size of my spleen that is full of large hemangiomas. Anyone know anything about this. I also have them in my liver.

I just started getting really bad pain exactly where my spleen is. Whenever I stand up or am sitting there comes a really sharp stabbing pain. I can't breathe on deep or eat alot, all I can feel is this pain. Someone said it's because they mono, I've had mono but I'm not sure what that has to do with your spleen.

I have been diagnosed 3 or 4 days ago with epstein barr virus. I have a question, does any of you have experience a pain in the spleen? Did you get any medication for it or just let it be? I didn't go to the doctor as it doesn't hurt as bad but let's just say I can feel pain during the day. I am planning to see a doctor next week if it doesn't stop hurting.

I had my spleen removed during bariatric surgery because the surgeon accidentally ruptured my spleen. The surgery was in 2010 and I still have pain in that area quite often. My surgeon says if I see another doctor about the pain he will drop me as a patient. Why would my spleen area still hurt and what tests can I have to find out what is causing the pain?

View 3 RepliesUndiagnosed Symptoms :: Chest Pain With Floating Sensation During Sleep
Night before last I woke up 9-10 times with the sensation you get when you drive over a large bump in the road too quickly, or when you pass over the high points of a roller coaster. I'm wondering if my heart is skipping a beat, or have I stopped breathing and I'm waking up trying to catch my breath? I've had some issues with chest pain lately, and they haven't found anything yet. They still have to do the stress test and ultrasound. Has anyone else experienced the "floating" sensation I am talking about? It's strong enough that it wakes me up.

I'm a 18 year old guy with no previous illnesses of any kind, don't drink/smoke, etc. Except not exercising and sleep irregularly, I'm pretty okay with lifestyle.
I had the symptoms of a UTI one day (first time in my life) with symptoms of blood in urine and lower abdomen pain. My doctor diagnosed it as prostatitis and gave me antibiotics for a month.
I never had the symptoms again since the first day of antibiotics, but now that I'm 3 weeks in, I'm feeling new symptoms like hesitation to go urinate, want to go urinate more often, etc.... Maybe it's my mind playing with me, but I FEEL like my bladders feel a little weird. Like, it feels... full? There's no pain at all, except perhaps minor irritation in my testes.
So now I'm really wondering if I should go see the doctor again, mostly in fear of potential kidney damages (urea poisoning a possibility?) I don't have insurance, but won't hesitate to stomach the bill myself if need be. Since I don't want to end up in the ER, or die...
Spinal Cord :: Synovial Cyst Is Groin Pain - Symptoms?
I was diagnosed as having a synovial cyst by a neuropsychiatrist. I had a procedure where he went in and drained the cyst along with that I had a steroid injection. Apparently he did not get much out of the cyst. The pathology report came back negative on what he did manage to get out.
On day two post procedure the pain starting coming back. Each day the pain level increased to where I am now a level 8 and sometime 9 and can barely stand the pain. My lower right back just above the buttock feels like there is pressure and is very achy. The deep achy pain goes into my right buttock and wraps around the lower groin area. The achy pain goes down my right leg and into my foot. It is a pulsating deep ache and I can hardly stand it. It also feels numb at times and I get pins and needle tingling. When I get up from laying down or sometimes sitting (when I can sit) I get this sharp excruciating pain in my right groin that doubles me over. I have to stay still in the doubled over position to let it subside before I can straighten up and walk. Sometimes the groin pain just hits me out of nowhere when I am standing.
On my follow up visit with my physiatrist he recommended I have a consult with a neuro spine surgeon. My appointment with the surgeon is in a couple of days. I feel very fortunate to get into see this surgeon who is very hard to get in to see. He is rated as "one of the best" in a very large healthcare system where I work.
I am taking 1500mg of gabapentin along with 6 ibuprofen a day. I am also taking hydrocodone. I fight the pain and only take on the average one pain pill a day because I don't like the groggy feeling.
My question is, has anyone else with a synovial cyst had all of these symptoms? Is the groin pain related to the compression on the nerve from the cyst. I appreciate any feedback and would love to hear from someone who has had these symptoms.
Anxiety / Depression :: Physical Symptoms - Chest Pain And Digestive Issues
I've been diagnosed with anxiety and depression. I've had physical symptoms for over a year now. The major ones that affect me are pain in my chest and digestive problems mainly what I eat not staying in my body long enough. When I sleep it doesn't effect me at all. I don't wake up with any pain in the middle of the night or any pain in the morning but it can creep back in as the day goes on.
I initially thought that my wedding day in August last year was causing my problems but 6 months on I still suffer with the physical problems.
I have been on antidepressants from June to around November and was taken off of them as I was getting better. My symptoms returned in December.
Day to day life is affected with pain and discomfort. I can't see what sets it off. I have no financial issues and I have a good life with a job and loving wife.
I keep telling myself it's just my depression but it doesn't make it any easier. It always creeps in my mind something bad is happening inside over time.
Does anyone suffer with similar symptoms? What has anyone found out that helps? If anything
Exercising does help me but it's feeling well enough to do it.
Spleen :: What Can Cause It's Enlargement
About 8 or 9 days ago I was experiencing pain on my left side which then moved about the whole abdominal area. Finally got blood work done the other day and everything came back good. Doctor had me get a ct scan which was good other than an enlarged spleen (14cm)
I'm supposed to get a chest X-ray and more bloodwork done next week. Today is Friday so I can't get these things done until after the weekend and if course I'm worried out of my mind.
I turn 40 this year. About 5ft 8 and 173 pounds. Last year I had a bout with LPR (silent reflux) but I got over that in mid October. Not sure if this could in any way be related though.
With all the possibilities of what can cause an enlarged spleen, Im worried. Guess I'm looking for others who had similar issues but had good news when all was said and done?
Hemangioma In The Spleen

My daughter's spleen has stopped working. She has sharp pain the the middle of where the rib cages meet(not at all where the spleen is. She has a high white blood cell count. Do you know what might cause a spleen to working. She is 28 and is otherwise great health,non smoker and no drugs either. They have her on morphine and gravel,also hooked up to an IV bag as she is not eating. No blood problems in the family history. She is a vegetarian so she may be low in iron. The hospital is at a loss for what to treat her for but ill next do a CT. They have done multiple blood works but nothing yet. Thank you for reading this and hope that you know something about why her spleen has stopped working.
View 1 RepliesLiver Dilated And Spleen
I am 30 years old, height 1.83, 82 kg weight. Before a few days I had an abdominal UT. All my organs were diagnosed normal beside the liver, which was diagnosed ''marginally dilated 16.5 cm'', and the spleen which was diagnosed as ''dilated 13.5 cm''.
Let me add that on the same day I had a blood test and all the liver and spleen indicator had normal values (SGOT/AST, SGPT/ALT, -GT, alkaline phosphatase, scrapbooks, albumin regarding liver and leucocytes regarding spleen).
I never had such a UT test in the past so there is no reference for previous size of my liver and spleen.
This period I am having ''Donarot" (crystalline glucosamine) and up to three weeks ago I was having Naprosyn (inflammatory, totally 60 pills in two month period) for orthopedic purposes.
Finally, for the reason that I workout out I occasionally use food supplements containing whey protein, creatine, amino-acids, carbohydrates etc, always as per dosage instructions. For the last two months I did not have any supplement at all though.
I could upload a pic of my UT, if this helps.
What is your opinion? Is it a dilation for sure, even minor one? Could the diagnose be wrong? What are the normal dimension? Can this dilation be related with the medications and/or the supplements I use? Should I take any further tests?
Mononucleosis :: How Would I Know If My Spleen Ruptured?
I am a 30 year old female who was diagnosed with mono April 19, 2014. It has been quite the challenge caring for my 7 month old and having to take time from work. I never had the fever, although I have the other fun mono symptoms such as discomfort in shoulder blades and under ribs from liver and spleen. I have visited both my physician and GI doctor and they can not feel any swelling which is good. I am 6 weeks into the disease and feel pretty good. I am happy to report my bloodwork came back normal yesterday. Last night, my 7 month old kicked me in the back (upper left side of my shoulder) while sleeping next to me. My anxiety alarm went off. I am not in pain, however I am feeling a light discomfort in the side and back of ribs. Of course I'm freaking out and thinking something is wrong with my spleen....anxiety can do terrible things to the brain...so maybe its all in my head? Someone told me you would need a blow to the abdomen in order to rupture the spleen and not to worry. How would I know if my spleen ruptured?
View 1 RepliesSpleen :: Borderline Enlarged?
I guess I'm looking for peace of mind. 8 years ago on an abdominal US they incidentally found my spleen was borderline enlarged at 12.5 cm.. The dr didn't seem concerned one but bc no other symptoms and flawless bloodwork. Since then I've gotten regular bloodwork and everything has always been perfect. I have zero other symptoms. Well, I recently went for an annual exam with a new GP and I mentioned the enlarged spleen issue to her.. She decided to ultrasound me and it's still " borderline enlarged " at 12.4 cm. She is totally baffled as to why and wants me to go to a hematologist who happens to be an oncologist as well. This is consuming my thoughts and I'm thinking the WORST! Why is it enlarged for 8 years?!!!!! But then I try to calm myself down thinking it can't be anything too bad bc it's been eight years with zero symptoms ? I'm a healthy 31 year old mom and I just am so so so scared something dreadful is wrong. Anyone have any insight? Im waiting on hematologist to call to schedule the apt but in meantime it consumes my thoughts all day every day.
