I have a question regarding alcohol and the pain that I have read about. Does the pain described include body aches? If so, how long does this last? Over the holidays I had half a wine cooler (I rarely drink any alcohol) and spent the next 4 to 5 days feeling as if I had been run over by a truck. Everything seemed to ache, especially the area in my back that has been an issue for me. I don't feel it could have been the alcohol but the aching started almost immediately after drinking the wine cooler.
Just curious if anyone had any answers or similar symptoms.
I mostly get stitch-like pain on my left side around the spleen area, can last more than a day, worse with red wine :( Don't get it from gin and tonics luckily but I'm also not a regular drinker and rarely go over the top.
I generally feel pretty lousy for a couple of days but I've always put that down to just overdoing things, maybe it's related after all. Have also noticed over the last year that I get hangover symptoms after eating red meat. I wonder if that's related as well??

Are you referring specifically to the symptom of alcohol-induced pain as a symptom of Lymphoma? If so it's specific to Hodgkin's lymphoma and the pain is experienced in the lymph nodes.
