Background info: I m 18, been taking adderall for almost three years, have monthly appointments with my doctor where he looks into my ears, puts his stethoscope in several places, and makes me go ahh with my tongue out and mouth open (sorry, I don t know what that s called), and my doctor has me taking a multivitamin with iron, calcium citrate, and vitamin D14 or D4 I think, and that started about two months ago. Other than that he doesn t check anything else. He gave me what I believe to be a spleen test where he gently pushed on my lower left abdomen area ONE TIME a while ago. Also, my normal weight is 175lbs (before starting adderall and what I obtain over the summer), but during the school year my weight ranges from 149-155lbs. I am also 6 2. For almost a week I have been experiencing discomfort/pain in what I believe to be my spleen. It seems to only be in two main areas. One area is directly under my left ribs (an inch or two to the left of my top abdomen muscle--left of where a six-pack would start) and the other is directly above my left hip that I thought was kidney pain at first. I apologize if I m not being descriptive or helpful enough! This discomfort/pain has me worried
Hi. Gone through the history. Why are you on Adderall ? Your area of discomfort makes me think about the possibility of colitis. Yet it would be advisable to go for the Standing X-ray abdomen/ sonography and other relevant tests as may be advised by your Doctor a clinical examination. A course of an antibiotic wit h metro or so should solve your problem unless the diagnosis is something else.
