I saw a thread here regarding pain in the left side where spleen was after a splenectomy. I also had a splenectomy after a car accident and have very severe pains that come and go - at first, it felt like there was a creature trying to claw its way out but now it is more of a pain, hard to describe, and no doctor can figure it and they dismiss it but it hurts like hell! If anyone out there has had similar and a diagnosis - please share with the class - seems no one has an answer other than possible adhesions. Thanks!
Same. Done all the tests including CT scans and endoscopy…yet, nothing was found to be the cause of the recurring pain.
I had an emergency splenectomy just over 2 years ago. I have intense abdominal pain every now and then ever since. The doctors keep telling me that they cant see anything or know what could be causing it. They dont seem to believe it has anything to do with post splenectomy. I saw someone say it wasnt until they had to have their apendix out that thats when the doctors noticed adhesions. Wish we all had some answers
