Lots of Left sided pain... very chronic, especially if there is any food in my stomach. I get it where my stoma, reversal and hernia was, but also terrible on the upper left side, like behind and underneath the lower left part of the ribcage, which protrudes slightly. If I push on it, or massage it lightly, it helps my poop (sorry), move through a little. Sometimes it feels kind of spongy in that area. I know this sounds strange...sorry. I see my oncologist next week, and am going to ask him to take a look- he is much more observant and keen on what is going on in my body. Isn't the spleen in that area on the upper side? Sorry so long!
