Pain In Stomach, Spleen Area, Feeling Bloated, Indigestion Problem After Getting Hurt. Could I Have Damaged My Spleen?

I fell three years ago on a street curb with the blunt force directly to my left rib stomach, spleen area. It was so painful to touch it I was bloated for about a year and really bad indigestion after this fall. It still pains to this day but not as severe but a dull nawing sharp pain. Could something have healed wrong , could I have damaged my spleen? The pain wraps around into my back area also.

It is unlikely that you damaged your spleen because you would have been much more symptomatic. I feel your pain could be a result of contusion to the muscles or ribs which may pain even after a long time. Or it could be a nerve getting irritated. If symptoms are very annoying i suggest you get a usg or even a ct abdomen done as it may reveal any other pathology if present.
