Hi. In 2019 I started noticing an odd sensation on the left side of my middle back area or flank area. It felt like a string was being pulled or a crawling sensation. I don't know how to describe it. But then pain in general, even in my upper abdominal area got worse. Long story short, they found a large grapefruit size mass on my spleen. In April 2020 it was surgically removed, thankfully leaving my spleen. I thought the pain would go away. It hasn't. I can thank the pain for finding the large splenic cyst, which btw was benign and "mysterious", but I still suffer every day. I've been to chiropractors, a naturopath, massage therapists, neurologists, my Rheumatologist etc, and had many scans, and nobody can tell me why I hurt. It's in my left flank, from the back to ribs to abdominal area. I can barely sleep on my left much anymore. Could it be a pinched nerve? Are there stretches or exercises that might help? Ugh, at 51, I feel like a hot mess, like my life is over because I can't do much without "paying for it" thanks to the fibro. Anyway, if you can perhaps help me know what to do, I would appreciate it. Thank you.
