What Is The Solution For Discomfort In Ribs After Recovering From Non-Hodgkin S Lymphoma While Suffering From Enlarged Spleen?
my name is Patricia. I miraculously came through non-Hodgkin s lymphoma 7 years ago after being told had only 3-6 weeks to live. The last year have been suffering with discomfort under left rib - told I have enlarged spleen - just a few tiny nodes a bit lower - ( 1 1/2 years ago) but lately very tired - no night sweats - just feeling unwell - left lung hasn t worked properly since damage to lining after drained 7 years ago - but I am a outgoing person - and have faith - so am not distressed - but just want to know if I should see specialist soon. Am a happy - busy 71 year old. I understand insolent (slow) and last time it was fast. Maybe??

Dear Patricia,
Though you have recovered from Non Hodgkin Lymphoma but after a gap of say 7 to 10 yrs there is a come back possibility. There is no harm in getting a specialists check up done at your convenience.
In your age mild rib pain might be due to osteoporosis. calcium Vit. D tablets should help you.
