Does anyone else have diaphragm pain? That spot that's above your stomach but below your chest?

I very often feel a pressure and a pain there...

Could that be due to lyme, since it's a muscle and lyme can affect muscles...?

Yes. But I thought it was my diaphragm, but really it was my spleen twinging. (spleen is enlarged quite a bit)

Maybe next time you see your doc, mention the diaphragm pain and ask her to check your spleen.

Bart and babs do a number on the spleen.

Good idea! I will. Does your spleen hurt toward one side? My pain is just left of center.

Yes, the spleen is on the left side.

Normally it is protected by the rib cage but when it is enlarged it can be felt outside he edges of the ribs.

Sparkly, sounds like your herxing... One pain then another. That pain was one of the things that got me a fibromyalgia Dx many years ago. Of course if it continues have a dr check it out.
