A member asked:

Hematologist did exam to feel for spleen 3 days ago (felt nothing) have sore feeling, and hurts when i stretch since then. is this from pressing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely: Three days a bit long for the effect of examination for spleen to last. If it is not well by a week from the day of the examination, it would be prudent to contact your doctor.
