Abdominal/Spleen pain
I ruptured my spleen Feb. 18, 2008 and the doctor choose to do non-operative treatment and monitor me in ICU with the blood loss. I stayed in ICU for 5 days and then they moved me to a room for 4 days. SInce then, I have had some problems, but the doctor said it was fairly normal in reocvery. My left shoulder still hurts, primarily toward the end of the day and I get that cramping feeling in the spleen area...like when you go running. However, since then, I have problems when I eat. I can NOT eat the greasy foods (which for health that is good), because it physically hurts my actual stomach while eating. I can feel my food for the next several hours travelling through my stomach and intestines. However, the other day, I got this horrible cramping feeling in my lower abdomen and back when trying to use the restroom. It felt like this horrible pressure was in my stomach while trying to urinate or have a bowl movement. I felt this same pain the actual day that I went to the ER for my spleen. My surgeon suggested that I go to the ER immediately and get checked out. They did another CT and found no complications. They said that my spleen was 30%-35% resolved since my original CT and that I was just healing. It might have just been a bad day...in the healing process. However, I want to know why am I having this abdominal pain when I eat, espeically any fried food, let alone any other food? What are normal healing symptoms when recovering from a ruptured spleen with non-operative treatment? Why am I having this cramping and pressure feeling in my lower abdomen and back? Is this all related to the spleen or could their be another problem going on? I had an abortion Feb. 1, 2008....could the pressure and pain be complications from that??? I don't know. Do any of these symptoms sound familair or normal?
Answers:
However, it is quite rare for the blood to be discharged from the vagina. It is when the cyst ruptures that the pain becomes quite unbearable. Thankfully, these are self-limiting and usually don’t require surgical intervention. Even if the cyst breaks, it resolves on its own provided the patient takes adequate rest. Tetracycline has been known to be an effective medication in the treatment of hemorrhagic cysts but should never be taken without a physician's consent. Another type of painful ovarian cyst occurs when torsion occurs. Torsion of the ovary is also referred to as adnexal torsion and is a critical and very painful condition which requires emergency treatment.
