I had tremendous pain under my left ribcage over the weekend; like the soreness after a surgery combined with a horse kicking you. Difficult to take a deep breath without severe pain. Considered going to the ER, but it was the weekend and I wasn't sure it wasn't just something minor. Researched a lot (including here) and assumed it was inflamed spleen.

Slept, ate mostly cooked vegetables (potato soup) and a dozen tangerines, drank peppermint tea and chewed on ginger for the last three days. Am 95% better today and continuing with the ginger (making tea and then eating the ginger) and citrus. Thanks for the recommendation - not only for my health, but for my pocketbook.

Julie, are you still around the site? I would love to know how you are doing these days with your spleen enlargement? I have it, and now it is beginning to hurt when I breathe deep, or bend over to tie my shoe. Generally uncomfortable, and if you can believe this, my doctor doesn't seem to be concerned and has had me just do blood workup, and Upper GI as I have had Acid Reflux, and about 2-3 Esophogea Spasms per week.

I stop the ES with room, temp water, about 8 ounces or I feel the spasm subsiding. Usually within seconds of drinking the water. I don't know the cause though and will be looking into that here on Earth Clinic.

I am not eating after 6 at night, and I leave out the foods they say cause AR. I think I also have Silent Reflux.

I am MOST concerned with this new thing with my spleen, going on 3 months, but for years, I would turn to the left to reach for something and it would hurt, like a cramp is all.

Hope to hear from you, or someone on this.
