Exercising after splenectomy - help!

[nh_user_1311714]

hi all

i’m so happy i found this forum to share different views after a splenectomy.
i had my spleen taken out around 5 years ago. when i do certain abdominal workouts in particular i find my scar area hurts and feels quite uncomfortable on the inside. feels almost like its being tugged at its a strange feeling!!! quite painful at times!!

does anyone else experience this? is that normal? i definitely am unable to do as good workouts as before my surgery. I also get a lot more tired.

Hi, Sorry you are having to deal with this after your spleen removal. Have you discussed this issue with your physician? I had my spleen removed in July of 2018. I have not had pain discomfort. I play golf and walk but do not do strenuous exercise. If I were you I would have a talk with my Doctor. Good luck.

Hi, sorry you feel that way. Had a total splenectomy 7 years ago and I still feel the “tugging” feeling when I do strenuous exercises, do rigorous dancing, etc.
