Post- splenectomy Pains

I had an emergency splenectomy in 2013 due to the trauma to my left side in a pretty bad accident. My spleen was ruptured and it had to be taken out to save me. But I've been having pains in my abdomen...begins on the left side and grows from that point to my back and other parts of my abdomen. I've been in and out of the hospital until last Sunday, all the diagnosis and prognosis aren't what it is. Is anyone experiencing this? I am up to date on vaccines and all.

I can neither lie down nor seat when it begins, I can only kneel forward to ease the pain. I throw up several times and passed out a few times too. I have used so many painkillers including tramadol and pentazo, which is injected.

I believe most doctors here don't know how to manage a patient with my condition.

    i am experiencing pulsating abdomen pain as well as rapidly increasing lower to mid back pain. I had my spleen removed seven days ago it had ruptured due to trauma. started with the onset of neck /shoulder pain before i went to sleep. I woke up screaming from the severe pain in my shoulder and upper left abdomen.

    Should i go back to the hospital???
