What Causes Pain And Swelling Near Spleen?
I was diagnosed with an enlarged spleen that had some kind of growth at the top of it in 2006, then following that diagnosis approximately a month later at most I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia with severe swelling of the hands and feet, however I noticed during these times of swelling I had pain on my left side where my spleen is - Could all of these be because of gallstones? Or, what could be the cause of all of this? Seriously Considering Eastern Medical Treatments!!!! Thanks, Cathy

these problems are unlikely to be due to gallstones. first, it is better if you find what is causing the swelling in the spleen using CT scan and blood tests. a diagnosis of fibromyalgia can be unrelated to splenomegaly or rarely be associated with blood and rheumatic disorders. I would suggest you to contact a hematologist for further evaluation
