2ww referral lymphoma.pain behind left rib?

Quick question, I’m on a 2ww refer for next Monday any haemotology suspected lymphoma route. Today I felt really lethargic which I do now a lot, I’ve had extortionate pain behind my left rib for the  last 3 hours. Just wandering if to go get checked out or if it’s just possibly nothing or a symptom that can wait until next week. Has anyone had this, know what it could be? Just don’t want to waste time if it’s somethin that can wait.

thankyou

  • I'm sorry about the pain you've been experiencing on your left rib concerned2. 

    Did the pain go away on it's own or did you go and get it checked? If something like this persists and is causing you to worry then it's usually a good idea to see someone about it, just for peace of mind.

    I hope all goes well with your referral next week concerned2.

    Kind regards,

    Thankyou for your reply... yes it is more of a dull ache now but flares up occasionally. I did go to get checked out but they practically fobbed me off, as usual. My appointment has been moved to tomorrow anyway, so I’ll mention it there along with other sysmptoms. Hopefully will get to the bottom of it all soon. 

    Thanks again.
