I think I have always had a strong abdominal pulse though, it was only being on the left side that raised suspicion this time, however, I know for a fact I had felt it there many times before. Sheesh Get over it already it was two years ago -) lol Thanks in advance for any ideas/advice. I made an appointment to be checked out by my doctor (aka be told I am simply worrying over nothing) but this is not normal for me (aside from constipation etc) so ? I just want to know what to go into the appointment knowing.the more info I have the more I will be able to convince her I am not a lunatic and just because I had post-partum depression doesn't mean EVERYTHHING is in my head. What could this all mean? Is it possibly a build up in my intestines/colon of fecal matter? This happened a day after I caught my son falling off a chair where I had to jumpin and lean to the left and it did hurt and pull near my left side/ribs. I have a strong abdominal pulse on the left side where the discomfort lies. Now, the lump comes and goes and kind of feels like an organ floating all over the place within a set path but it *feels* like between softball and harball sized. Gaslike feeling starts immediately after eating and continues for hours. After three days my muscles are fine but the fullness under the left rib remains. It absolutely hurt to cough or laugh, my whole muscles in the abdomen seemed pulled. Kind of like flu without any other flu symptoms. Well, 5 days ago I woke up with an aching pain in my left abdomen, kind of under my left rib but it also feels like gas (which I can pass, with some difficulty) but I was also nauseous, and my shoulder joints ached. After pregnancy and a fallen bladder, nothing shocks me so i assumed all was normal (that and since I sufffered sever post-partum depression my doctor poo-poos anything I suggest is malfunctioning so i just don't bother).
The past few months I noticed sometimes my abdomen had a bump in it, rather large like a softball that when I pressed it, it would sink back somewhere into my abdomen. I had major trouble with hemmorhoids while pregnant and since then, minor discomfort while starting a bowel movement, fine once it starts exiting :-) Isn't it fun to talk about bowel movements? Anyway. A ruptured spleen can cause life-threatening bleeding in your belly.Since the birth of my son two years ago, I have had very few digestive problems which was a shock since prior to childbirth I was chronically constipated. The possibility of rupture is much greater when your spleen is enlarged. Even healthy spleens are soft and easily damaged, especially in car crashes. Anemia and increased bleeding also are possible. An enlarged spleen can reduce the number of healthy red blood cells, platelets and white cells in your bloodstream, leading to more frequent infections. Potential complications of an enlarged spleen are:
This soft, spongy organ performs several critical jobs, such as: Its size generally relates to your height, weight and sex. Your spleen is tucked below your rib cage next to your stomach on the left side of your belly.
Autoimmune conditions, such as lupus or sarcoidosis.Pressure on the veins in the spleen or liver or a blood clot in these veins.Metabolic disorders, such as Gaucher disease and Niemann-Pick disease.Blood cancers, such as leukemia and myeloproliferative neoplasms, and lymphomas, such as Hodgkin's disease.Various types of hemolytic anemia - a condition characterized by early destruction of red blood cells.Cirrhosis and other diseases affecting the liver.Bacterial infections, such as syphilis or an infection of your heart's inner lining (endocarditis).Viral infections, such as mononucleosis.The enlargement might be temporary, depending on treatment. A number of infections and diseases can cause an enlarged spleen.
