Possible spleen rupture? What can I do?

Hi, I don't know whether I should be posting this here. 

I have no idea if I could have possibly strained my spleen, or ruptured it. 

Was diagnosed with Mono/Glandular fever in October. Of course, my spleen was enlarged and tender. I could even feel pain in that area when I was walking. 

Last week, I did some heavy lifting at work. (Lifting paper waste bags and dragging them). 

The next day, my stools were black. (Sorry, TMI). I went to a doctor, who didn't seem to be bothered what I was telling him. He did give me a check over. He ended up prescribing me more anti-sickess tablets and gastro-resistant medication. I asked if the medication could be causing black stools, and he said no. I looked on the ingrediants, and there is no bismth in it. I also haven't been eating black foods, or taking supplements. At that time, I didn't have much pain there, more like a twinge in the upper left abdomen. 

Last night, I felt a painful twinge in the same area. The pain was there when I breathed in, and even bent down. But, I brushed it off.

My stools have now gone back to normal, but I feel pain there as I'm writing this. I feel pressure in my lower abdomen, and it's tender when I press down on the area just under my left breast. The pain is also radiating to my upper back. Sometimes going to the left side of my back. 

Should I go to the A&E/ER department? I don't want to waste their time.
