A member asked:

Luq abdominal pain, around to side and back it's been 2 month now. getting worse. what could it be? ct scan clear. er?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

More details needed: The pain may be related to the ribs ?Tietze Syndrome or nerve root pain. Sometimes people with sickle cell anemia patients can have pain related to splenic infarcts. I would like to review the CT, but perhaps a neurologist consult may help.
