ok after being in the hospital for a week because i had terrible fevers 104.8 most horrible feeling in the world worse then being stabbed. i get home yesterday night. the doctors found nothing wrong that was cause the fevers said just a flu. then they told me i have an enlarge spleen and liver. dont know why. they said maybe from being sick. but tonight i am having some pain upper left side of abdomin, close to the bottom of the ribs. i think thats were you spleen is. its not constint it comes and gose. on a scale from 1-10 10 being the worst its a 6.6. it a bit unconfortable. i dont want to go back to the hospital. might have too. any one else have this problem. the spleen and liver.

My neighbor had smiliar trouble months ago, and ended up being diagnosed with Mono...it had settled in her spleen and liver and caused her spleen to swell dangerously. She went on Bed Rest...like she was pregnant...for several months to give her body a chance to rest and heal. I'm not sure just how they diagnosed this. She has improved greatly, and the swelling is down. But it's been a long haul for her, and she keeps having to go back for ultrasounds to keep a check on the internal swelling. It's improving with time.

Just an idea...in case it helps? Maybe you could Google and get more info? Someone here (Jack?) may be able to say more. Good luck. I'm sorry you are in pain!

i'll ask if they checked for mono i know they check for hepititus. they took a chest x ray cat scan of the brain cuz of the fevers being so high. an ultra sound. thats how they found out about the enlarged liver and spleen. told me i have high liver enzymes. they dont know why. told me i could go home. just to drink more liquids and follow up with doc in a week. but last night i had some really bad pain in my back . then it went away and came back agien.

My daughter had the same thing at 19 she was diagnosed with mono.She also was really nauseated , she was in the hospital for about 3 days but sick for about 8 days. Sounds like the same symptoms.
