Hi what was your outcome please? I'm in a similar situation myself

Hi, 

I went through many blood test, scans etc...my bloods all came back fine! But my spleen was still enlarged. 

I have to go back for scans 6 month to see how the spleen is. 

My pains all went by the end of January, I did change my eating habits so maybe this has something to do with my change of bowel habits. 

The Dr said even though is unusual to have a enlarged spleem it could just be how I am. But will continue to monitor every 6 months. 

They did find Polips during a scan, but too small to remove so I will also return to have these checked on.

Thank you so much for the response. I'm really glad you're doing okay! I'm seeing the haematologist on Monday, but unfortunately, my right supraclavicular lymph node is swollen and I have a lot of other symptoms as well including drastic weight loss so I'm really concerned. 
 

I was given a thorax, abdomen and pelvis CT scan which shown a "mass" in the right of my liver as well as some weird thing along the ligament so I was sent for an ultrasound. On the ultrasound the weird mass couldn't be seen and there was shadowing along the ligament which can apparently be normal but the ultrasound saw that my spleen is enlarged (13.3cm) so not massive but I'm honestly so unwell and I'm scared the cause won't be found. Sorry for rambling x

Hi Krissy. Can I ask how things went for you? 

I have all symptoms of enlarged spleen. Have been going on for 18 months now. I am due to have a scan this friday. I am very worried about what they may find. My pains are getting worse, I can't eat big meals at all anymore, have lost weight. If I fo eat a larger meal I experience excruciating pain in my left ribs, shoulder and back and when I try and take a deep breath, it's as though my ribs are stabbing something. My bowel habits have changed. 

I have been told IBS, stomach acid ect but the scan is to rule out bowel cancer. I really believe it's an enlarged spleen and hope there is nothing else going on as well as that.

Hello, I'm wondering how you are all doing. I've had pain under my left rib and back for a month following on from pain under right rib and back with gas/belching. Seen GP twice who did 2 abdominal examinations and a fuĺl set of bloods all normal. The pain is getting worse so im to have an ultrasound next week. Very worried the left sided pain is to do with the spleen along with the liver pain on the right. Any ideas as I'm really worried please cx

No you don't get pain from your spleen,iv got an enlarged spleen,due to hepitias c, and I don't really get pain,I just vomit once a week,and im very weak,and bruise easy,And really people deal with pain differently,as I went to my doctor,and I didn't feel any pain, just felt a bit un-well,so I reluctantly whent and thought I'd probably be waisting my doctors time,but it turned out I had hep c/ enlarged spleen,and diabetes,So yea people deal with things differently, but after that,it made me think about going to my GP a bit more frequently,some people don't get any symptoms with regards to your spleen,I'm no GP but from my personal experience,I would say it isn't your spleen,hope I helped a bit.

Thanks Dean the pains now subsided and I'm on the list for a gallbladder removal BUT Im now getting sweats early morning after I've woken up, not drenching and not waking me as they occur only when I take the quilt off and when the cooler air hits my body, I've been on atorvastatin for a while and it was shortly after this they started and I thought they maybe were linked as a rare side effect is listed as extreme sweating so I'm in a bit of a quandary once again. Any help would be gratefully received  x
