A member asked:
I just had an emergency splenectomy and since i have been home, i have had right side stomach pain. is that normal?

Spleen on the left: As the spleen is on the left I think it is not too likely that right side pain would be directly associated with splenectomy, but there could be something else going on. I would discuss with your doctor.
