Hi. I had a colonoscopy about 12 hours ago. About 3 hours ago I noticed a sharp pain in my left shoulder(kind of feels like a pulled muscle) I read that it could be a sign of ruptured spleen but I don t really have other symptoms. Should I be worried or is this normal?
Hi.if you have a ruptured spleen, you wouldn't be able to have the time to spend here as its symptoms are usually acute in character. Usually, a severe abdominal pain, flank discoloration, decreasing blood count and probably other constitutional symptoms like fever. What you're experiencing right now might be a muscle strain or positional. If its persistent and progressive, a follow-up with your doctor would be best. Abdominal CT-scan could easily rule-out if you have a ruptured spleen. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
