Pancreatitis pain after
Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis pain after
pancreatitis
It seems like everytime that I drink acouple beers the next day I wake up with a pain in my stomach and a low grade fever. I went to my GI doctor and had a endoscopy and he said, beside the Barett's Esophagus and hiatal hernia that he knew about everything looked normal. He said, maybe the pain was Celiac disease or even Pancreatitis. He said, I would need to get blood work to check this out.
is it normal to have some residual soreness after acute pancreatitis? If so, how long will should the soreness last?
s more in my chest than anywhere (sort of around and behind my boobs is the best explanation!). This is exactly where the pain of the pancreatitis was. It does seem to be slightly worse after eating, but the type of food I've eaten doesn't seem to matter. It comes and goes, but the last week I seem to have had it on and off most days. It can also be worse when I'm lying down, if I lie on my left hand side.
That is such a simple yet true statement and yet doctors will not diagnose pancreatitis just by the pain, etc. They, like the true scientists they are, want what they call "objective, quantifiable evidence" and enough signs and symptoms proven out with this objective evidence in order to make a definitive diagnosis.
Hopefully, this isn't what you have to begin with although your symptoms are exactly what mine were after having my gb removed.
Doctor says it could be Pancreatitis but my symptoms are not exactly of Pancreatitis, although pain is severe and it radiates to back but eating (although I eat very little) doesnt particularly increases the pain. Pain moves around upper middle and upper left stomach. It is unbearable and has disabled me I cant do anything and from the past 5 months I am bed ridden. Anybody has any idea what it is? could it be pancreatitis?
He was diagnosed with acute pancreatitus 4 years back and since then he is having pain again and again, sometimes after months or after weeks.After pain, he becomes allright start living normally. But after sometime when he eats something heavy or dont follow proper diet or without any reason pain comes back and stays for 1-2 days.
Is this acute or Chronic?
m a 42-year-old woman who, about two years ago, I developed gallbladder-type pain and other symptoms. After having my gallbladder removed and another surgery called a sphincterotomy, I've learned that there are many things that can cause these symptoms including Post-Cholecystectomy Syndrome, Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction and Pancreatitis, among other things.

I am 25 and I don't usually drink; however on the weekend I went to a friends birthday and had probably the most I've ever had. That night and ever since then I've had this upper abdominal pain (about moderate level). It's off and on and usually happens right after I eat and when I start to think about it and what it could be (stress) the pain gets worse. This usually lasts a couple hours. I also get chest pains when I start to worry about it and my shoulders get stiff.
Does the duct dilatation set off an inflamation of the liver and pancreas and cause the pancreatitis pain? Also can the duct dilatation heal on its own in time?
I have no desire to undergo an ERCP as I've heard such nightmare stories from people who have undergone but yet I'm so tired of not feeling good and having pain and just would like to feel good again.
Thanks for your help.
So he doesnt think that its Chronic Pancreatitis but feels its acid pain. Now my pain is on and off. When I eat oily or spicy food it recurs with mild to moderate pain.
A sphincterotomy was performed at this time (Sphincter of Oddi). At my 2 week surgical follow-up I had no pain whatsoever. Pain in the right upper quadrant developed within the next few weeks. I have now had the pain every day for over 4 months. It is not horrible, but it is annoying and distracting and diminishes my quality of life with my two little girls. The pain is sometimes burning, just under my rib cage. Sometimes it feels as if something is poking or stabbing me from deep inside.
Can a person develop chronic pancreatitis after having acute pancreatitis that resulted from having an ERCP? I have developed abdominal pain that radiates to my side and back that is relieved when I lean forward and worsens when I lean back. No nausea or vomiting, no fever. Should I follow up with my doctor? I had the acute pancreatitis around 2004. Thanks for your response.
I had to put my 11 year old Llhasa apso to sleep yesterday because he was diagnosed with pancreatitis and was in so much pain that they could not guarantee that he would survive even with treatment. It came on suddenly...he was fine Saturday but began throwing up in the middle of the night and continued...he couldn't even hold down water and was very weak. I took him into the veterinary hospital on Sunday and he was too weak to come home.
t know how she got it. Ever since the pancreatitis she has been in pain just about every day (and missing quite a bit of school). It doesn't seem to make a difference as to the types of food she eats. She has tried going without milk for 4-5 days and without wheat for about a week. She was tested for food allergies also, which came back negative. The most pain she has is in her abdomen area, running horizontally from side to side and it is tender to press on.
He started on insulin which went well. He continued having severe pain coming and going as usual. After seeing this doctor for a while, it was established that my husband does not have chronic pancreatitis. That it was only acute pancreatitis he had, had. Doctors had no answer for why he then had all the symptoms of chronic pancreatitis. His inflammation levels were now normal even though he continued having pain.
End of last year he was admitted to hospital again.
Fluid therapy, regular blood work (sometimes several times a day), pain meds or a patch for pain and antibiotics are often used. This is a very painful condition. In pancreatitis, nutrients the dog needs are passed out in the feces, thus probably the reason for the weight loss (and that is quite a bit). Has he been checked for diabetes?
The thing that is hard with it is, which you have experienced, your scans can look normal and blood tests also and you still have pain,nausea, fatigue and the whole pancreatitis everything! The ER will not do anything about this because nothing is showing up on any of your tests and according to the its not an "emergency" so get to a GI fast! chronic pancreatitis is hard to diagnose so hang in there!

Despite this, I still have some back pain, usually 1/2 hour after eating, in my mid-left back. This pain sometimes stretches across the mid back to the right-side, but it's mostly on my left. Very mild abdominal pain, again in the stomach region (lower rib-cage, on the left), but that's less common. The back pain can last for hours, and although very mild, it is uncomfortable.
I'm concerned that this could be chronic pancreatitis. I am a 30 year old male.
