My fiance can't reach his doc and is in horrible pain. We went to the ER last night and the doc said his CT scan was normal (we thought he had gall stones). We got a copy of the CT scan today and the findings are...
Focal Fatty Infiltration of the liver (doesn't drink)
Shotty retroperitoneal adenopathy
Mesenteric adenopathy in RT. lower quad.
mild dependent peripheal interstitual densities, which represents atelectasis
Atelectasis within the lingula as well
Small splenule in left upper Quad of spleen.
Could these findings justify severe right sided abdominal pain and pain around the belly button? He is 28yrs old and in good health besides the stomach issues. He is suffering from awful night sweats now and today has extreme fatigue.
We really appreciate any insight! The doc did say his white count was VERY slightly raised, but not bad at all. Should we try a different ER or go back and as about these findings, which the doc failed to mention.

Let me start with I am no doctor, but you should go back to a doctor. Sounds like his liver is not doing well. I am having the similar problem and Fatty Liver is not something you want to not pay attention to. Trust me on that one. You don't have to drink to have liver problems. Specially with fatty liver. It can be due to some meds or foods. Good luck.

Okay, your fiance has atelectasis, retroperitoneal adenopathy and a fatty liver, as good as a spleen abnormality? Your ER health care professional will have to be referring your fiance to an inside medication document for a comply with-up. In any case those don't seem to be average findings and deserve a proof. Make an appointment. If your fiance remains to be in discomfort, take the movies (now not the outcome) to one more health care professional for a moment opinion. His signs would be indicators of lymphoma. He demands a session now.

I think enough time has passed to think about another ER. Don't waste time.
