Could spleen be ruptured after fall injury?
Yesterday i fell from a toboggan on my left side mostly in my gluteus. Today after i woke up i have pain when i move in the area under my last ribs and back in the left side. Could my spleen be ruptured? Would i notice the signs already?

There is a likelihood that your spleen has been injured. Immediate medical attention should be sought. I suggest seeing a gastroenterologist for additional study and treatment.
