Can spleen pain come and go?

Question

Sometimes I get a sharp pain on my left side, around where my spleen is. It comes and goes, not constant. Is it normal for spleen pain to be intermittent like that, or should I be more concerned?

Sometimes a sharp side stitch during heavy running or walking can feel like spleen pain and it goes away once you rest. However, if the pain persists or is accompanied by feeling full too quickly, avoid workouts and see a physician immediately.

Spleen pain acting like a guest who can't decide whether to stay or leave! Honestly, left-side abdominal pain can come and go due to simple gas or a muscle twitch. But if your spleen is actually throwing a tantrum, you need to let a doctor handle it.

At 53, my body makes new noises and pains every week that come and go as they please. Half the time it's just gastric trouble masquerading as something serious. But if it's actually spleen pain, that's not something to laugh off; get a scan done.

I've been feeling this dull ache on my upper left side under my ribs that disappears and then comes back after a few days. I'm so worried it might be my spleen. Has anyone else experienced this fluctuating pain, and what did your doctor say?

Meera Shah · Answer

I totally get it, experiencing pain that comes and goes can be so confusing and stressful to deal with. Since spleen issues can sometimes be linked to infections or other underlying conditions, it's really important to have a doctor check it out rather than worrying in silence.

Hey, don't stress too much! A lot of times, pain in that left side is just a nasty gas bubble moving around. But since the spleen is an important organ, if the ache keeps coming back, just promise me you'll get a quick doctor checkup, okay?
