I know such a weird question but last night I woke at 5:30am with the most seering pain on my left hand side under my ribs and pain through the same area piercing my back. IT was so bad that I had to sit up as lying down was out of the question. The pain just hit me out of no where. I actually took 3 nurofen plus because I was at the point of crying.

I have just woken again with the seering pain in the same spot and also pain up into my left shoulder. But the pain is still localised to the same area under my ribs on the left hand side.

I had to actually google an image of what organ was there as I had no idea and it said the spleen.

I know googling is not always good but all the symptoms I have are pointing in that something is wrong with my spleen.

Has anyone had any experience with spleen problems??

I am going to the doctors in the morning as this pain is terrible! Have jsut had to take some more nurofen plus to deal with it.
