hi my name is chloe. i ruptured my spleen around nine months ago and last night i ran around a football field 3 1/2 times and im having some pain in the area where my spleen is. could i possibly have ruptured it again and i never had surgery i was put on bedrest.
Hello! Thank you for the query. Ruptured spleen usually does not hurt at all. It is muscles and ribs what hurts in case of such trauma. Please note that in the area where the spleen is located, there is also a rib which quite often gets injured. So this does not mean you have ruptured spleen. But it also does not rule it out. If you have had any trauma recently which could cause spleen injury, please do not wait with it and go to ER. It is also possible that you may have an abscess in the spleen as an effect of the trauma in the past. You should have a fever with this issue as well. Hope this will help. Regards.
