Anyone ever have spleen pain from lyme ? I am
Having the strangest pain on my left side and back under my last few ribs. Still having fluttering feeling in chest with on and off shortness of breath. Seems like a lyme flare although I feel pretty darn good otherwise. Just worried abt spleen.

Springsjean;

I have had pain there off and on. It will last a few days and then go away and maybe not come back for a few months. I don't know if it is connected to Lyme. It is just another abdominal pain that I live with once in a while. I have had abdominal sonograms several times because of some polyps on my gallbladder and there was never anything wrong with the spleen. If you are really worried about it and it does not go away, I would recommend going to get a sonogram. Good luck and hope it goes away on its own.

Bart seems to have an affinity for the spleen and can cause air hunger even though Babs is more known for that. Are you treating for Bart now?
