Question 1

pain in the spleen area, already have had tests run for pancreatitis and lower and upper endoscopy.  ct's from a couple months ago were nomral.  i am experiencing stabbing pain in my left side, just under my rib cage which radiates straight down my abdome

Accepted Answer

Muscle spasm: Upscale spasm of the abdominal wall (or muscle strain, tear, etc.) can ALS be a cause. Sometimes people will even feel a bulge which sounds like a hernia, but may in fact be the contracting muscle. Usually the area is manually massaged, and there is pain relief after a few minutes. A ct scan should be able to tell the difference, but it is very unlikely to be a hernia in that area. Try aspercreme.

Question 2

i've been having pain in upper left quadrant comes and goes it's not severe but sometimes stabbing when breathing and twitchy i think spleen problem ?

Accepted Answer

Colon distention: is mostly your problem, at this site there is  the "splenic flexure" part of the colon, it is not your spleen, some times it is called the splenic flexure syndrome, at any rate take care of your diet, sleep, reduce caffiene and carbonated beverages, if symptoms persist, see your doctor, good luck

Question 3

i am having very extremely bad stabbing pains under my left rib where my spleen is located.  what do i do? when i bend forward to pick up something, (this leaves my tummy in a bunched up position).  right under my left rib the pain is stabbing and so bad

Accepted Answer

It : It sounds like you are having severe pain from this, so you need to be seen immediately by your doctor.  Pain under your left rib can be caused by a problem with your lung, such as pleurisy, blood clots, or collapsed lung; it can be caused by stomach causes such as your spleen (rare), kidney problems, pancreas or intestinal problems, and it can even be caused by musculo-skeletal problems (problems with the muscles or the ribs).  Please see your doctor.  If your doctor cannot see you right away or if you have fever, shortness of breath, vomiting, or feel light-headed, then you will have to go to the er.

Question 4

why is there stabbing pains every now and then in the left side of my upper abdomen, sort of under the bottom of my ribcages left side? is it my spleen? should i talk to my doctor?

Accepted Answer

A good idea: It is always a good idea to discuss observed symptoms with your pediatrician. Keeping a log of your symptoms may help in better discerning the origin of your symptoms. Spleen is located in described location, the large bowel also angles down around that area and commonly pain is due to musculoskeletal wall related issues.

Question 6

Go to er.

Question 7

stabbing pain waistline right side?

Accepted Answer

Need doctor to check: Lower right abdominal pain can be from many things. For pain there, appendicitis is always a concern (pain can worsens over time, with fever coming on). If one is constipated for several days, stool can back up all the way to the right side, and cause pain. Having gas may or may not be related to the discomfort (lactose intolerance will cause gas). A hernia or ovarian problem can cause pain.

Question 8

what can cause a stabbing pain in my clitoris?

Accepted Answer

A few thoughts: Inflammation of the pudendal nerve or dorsal nerve of the clitoris, splinter (as from nylon), infection, to name a few.If the cause is not obvious, is severe, or constant, I recommend a visit to your gynecologist.If that does not solve the problem, or not cause is found, I would consider consulting a pain specialist, especially one familiar with peripheral neuropathic pain.

Question 9

don?t understand why sharp stabbing pain in the head?

Accepted Answer

Likely sinus related: The site of the pain will help narrow the possibilities. If in the area of the face or forehead, it is likely sinus related. If in the area of the ears, it may be tmj. Where do you have your pain?

Question 10

after i eat i get a stabbing pain in my lower right side?

Accepted Answer

Eval: Could be gall bladder or appendix, or stomach or gas.   I would try eating bland food and start a good diary to see if you can figure out what is causing symptoms.  If no better, see pcp for eval.
