Guest guest Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 Tonya, When I am having pain I feel swollen in the area of my spleen. Of course, in addition to CP, I have autoimmune liver disease. An enlarged spleen often goes with liver disease but I've never had a doc mention my spleen being enlarged. Last night I had an episode where my belly 'blew up' as I call it. I look 5-6 months pregnant easily when this happens. When it happens I am very tender (more than usual) in the area below my right rib. There are lumpy areas that you can easily feel when I am standing. I've had my husband feel the areas, so I know I'm not just imagining it. The thing is that they are not really obvious when I am lying down. They are also not that obvious during times that my belly has not blown up. I don't really know what caused the episode last night. I'd had a great day and was finally able to eat without problems, after not being able to since Thurs afternoon. It went away a few hours later and I have been fine all day today. I see my GI tomorrow so I'm going to ask him about it. W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
