<human>: About 2 years ago in er they found a 4cm lesion on my splee. A week ago i went in for what i thought was a kidney stone to the er and they did an ultrasound and said my lesion on my spleen has grown about 2cm i made a follow up with my doctor but i have been having really bad pain in my left side for the last two months. Should o be worried? what is causing it to hurt so bad? Its very hard to eat anymore. Thank you for your time
<bot>: HI. Thanks for your history. The history difficulty or hard to eat excludes the spleen lesion to cause such a problem. IT can not cause such a lengthy problem. This can be due to pancreatitis, gastritis, stomach ulcers or cancer, colitis or so. I would advise you the following:Upper GI Endoscopy. CT scan of the abdomenRoutine blood tests including amylase and lipase, Urine and stool tests. Physical examination by a General Surgeon. All these will lead to a proper diagnosis and proper management
