Splenomegaly: Enlarged spleen can cause back, flank, and abdominal pain. You really do need to get it checked. Don't overdose on nsaids & tylenol (acetaminophen).

Check with your Doc: Tylenol (acetaminophen) can be harmful for your liver and Ibuprofen can increase your risk of bleeding. There are other safer options for pain control for your situation but those are prescription medications.

Not quite severe, but very bad. The slider only lets you choose no pain or severe pain. It's my right upper back just left of my right shoulder blade. Feels like a cramp. Heat, Advil, and Tylenol haven't helped.
