I get that too. When I first asked about it, my LLMD said that it was probably a herx from killing off bugs in that area. That was 2 months ago or so.
However, I'm starting to experience some vague discomfort on my right side too, and my urine has turned orange. I went to see my PCP yesterday and am waiting for a urinalysis and new liver tests. It appears that I'm getting liver damage from something, most likely the Mepron.
I'm quite anxious about this, needless to say. I would hate to have to quit the Mepron, because it's helped me a lot, but I don't want to die of liver failure.

I developed that horrible pain while on Bicillin last fall. Now it flares with each herx.
I asked my LLMD about it, I was worried about my spleen, we did an ultra sound it was ok. The ultra sound tech showed me where my spleen is, it is way off to the left side, on the left side really.
My LLMD thinks it is just inflamed cartilage.
I think the hard herxing from Bicillin developed costochondritis. Which sounds pretty close to what my LLMD said.

Spleen?
Next time you see your doc, ask to have it palpated to check for swelling, etc. Babs is rough on the spleen; my LLMD warns to be careful with it- no roughhousing, bumping, etc.
