is it liver? i have been getting pains there that are increasing every day...esp at night
i haven't been eating right...no money right now...and idon't have a gall bladdr
and i think my lymph nodes are in trouble cuz it feels like i am lying on golf balls
but the sharp pains like stabbing under my left ribs is getting worse
i'm sort of thinking about heart too
that has been tested a lot with no problems showing up
never had bad liver test either...but this pain is new and getting worse
thanks

I think the spleen, kidney, urether, bowel.
Are you on abx - if you have a lot of die-off it can be too much for the spleen, a spleen can rupture. Drink a lot of good water in case it is pain from the kidney.

Ipkayak - it's the Spleen. I had looked it up because I've had mild pain there off and on for the last month or so. Nothing as bad as you seem to have. I have read that swelling of the spleen is not always a serious problem, but if it is painful it could be so it's important to get it checked out for sure.

PS i just pm'ed you with a question on plaquenil?

Spleen pain from my experience. My spleen on left, my liver and gall bladder on right side years ago especially during abx years screamed daily at me to help them.

The pancreas sits between the backbone and the stomach under the ribs. When it is inflamed there can be sharp pains shooting into your rib area. The liver and gallbladder on on the right.
Do not drink alcohol (which you shouldn't be doing anyway). You are right about diet. Not good to eat fat either. Eat chicken without skin and more plant based protein. Lots of vegetables are cleansing.

Yes, when my daughter was treating babs, her spleen became very tender and sore.. It eventually resolved.

If your spleen is not able to process so many dead blood cells you might consider a break and go off meds till the pain is better.
A spleen can rupture, so be careful with a overload of die-off.

My spleen pain went away with Pekana homeopathics. It was severe.
They recommend three different products for spleen detox (I believe one is for the liver, one for the kidneys, and the other for spleen, but I'm not positive). It worked GREAT for me. Amazingly great!!

I had an ultra sounds because of all the pain there and it was impacted bowel. How are you doing on probiotics? It disappeared after I had a couple of colonics and a colonoscopy prep. ; P

it would be prett y east tho...do you think i should? when the herbs work they work so fast and it is so clear that is what is helppiing me

Enlarged lymph nodes can lead to an enlarged spleen from lymph not draining right. Please see a doctor. Your spleen should feel like a thumb sized lump if you feel under left ribs. Any bigger means its inflamed. Could also be stomach or colon because your eating habits have changed.
Hope this helps, Lindsay
