pancreatitis

Avatar m tn They kept him in the hospital for 5 days. They kept him on strong pain medication to help. He was not allowed to eat for 2 days, then they gave him jello and broth. They treated it very seriously! Maybe seek a second opinion, get a different GI doctor.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn I was recently givin medication to help with a frozen shoulder. I took two Solpadol pills and within half an hour of taken them i was rushed into hospital with severe stomach pain. The doctors ran test and i was told it was pancreatitis. I was checked for Gal stones, was clear. They said they found no cause, and it was put down to alcohol misuse. I am not a heavy drinker. Could the Solpadol have caused this? I read in the leaflet one of the severe side affects is pancreatitis.
Avatar f tn I would also suggest that you ask your vet about pain medication because pancreatitis is incredibly painful. A stronger nausea medication like reglan or phenergan may be a good call as well.
Avatar m tn I am tired of living in constant fear of pancreatitis. I would appreciate any info you could give me. The pain is never so bad I double over and movement tends to aggrevate it. Thanks for any info.

Avatar m tn They had no idea why he had the pain nor why he has all these long-term symptoms. He still did not have pancreatitis - inflammation levels were non-existent. He was scanned and told the only thing looking abnormal was that his pancreas looked 'bulky', but doctors didn't see that as a problem and made no further investigation as to why it's 'bulky'. He was sent home after a few days.
936335 tn?1246412231 Your symptoms could be SO many things including microscopic sludge/stones in the common bile duct, gallbladder problems, Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction, Small Bowel Bacterial Overgrowth, acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, autoimmune pancreatitis, mininal change chronic pancreatitis, etc., etc., etc. Pancreatic and ductal pain is among the most horrendous pain there is. If you cannot manage your pain, talk to your primary care physician and ask for some medication!
Avatar f tn My 6 year old lab was diagnosed with pancreatitis 10 days ago. Her symptoms came on suddenly. Because she was not throwing up and still drinking water, the vet sent her home with antibiotics and pain meds. The decision to not hospitalize her was also based on cost. Initially she seemed to get better. However, her belly is swollen again and she is not eating well at all. Her swollen belly is my biggest concern. Why would it do that again even though she just finished her medication.
Avatar m tn So, I had the classic sx of nausea vomiting post meals RUQ pain, shoulder pain/scapula pain that started March of 09, after a numerous amount of test and 1-2 episode of pancreatitis I was suggested to have my Gallbladder remove. Which was done Sep 09. I continued with my symptoms despite the cholectomy. I was sent to a specialist that performed a an ERCP and manometry and stated that my pressures were high. My muscle was extremly tight so he cut it and placed a temporary stent in my pancrease.
Avatar f tn t start treatment with a medication that can cause pancreatitis while you have pancreatitis. I bet any doctor would tell you that. Epclusa includes sofosbuvir which lists "pancreatitis" as a possible side effect. Here's a study that says.... "There were 7 grade 3 events including anemia, neutropenia, nausea, hypophosphatemia, and cholelithiasis or pancreatitis." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.
Avatar f tn I’m 55 year old female that is having Intermitting pain in the upper abdomen. It usually is on the right side behind the rib and sometimes left. My lipase panels have fluctuated from normal to a tad bit above normal. I haven’t touched alcohol in 30 days and prior to that was a wine drinker one or two classes at night. The pain actually has gotten worse since since I’ve stopped the wine.
Avatar n tn It could indicate whether you have pancreatitis. Parathyroid patients may have pancreatitis but it is possible that you have only gastroesophageal reflux.
Avatar n tn s just managed. Digestive enzymes medication is prescribed for chronic pancreatitis as well as pain medication. Secondly, have to figure out what is causing the fatty liver? The fatty liver is from the excessive alcohol drinking. Even though you have quit drinking, I am sure there has been some damage done; not hard to figure that one out. You really should not be even doing the social drinking.
151462 tn?1359172276 I am currently having a lot of abdominal pain. Mainly in the upper left, and my lower right sides. The pain in both of these areas aren't constant, but appear to be sticking around more often in the last week. I have no gallbladder, so that isn't the issue. I have had pancreatitis (unknown cause) twice, but he last time was 11 years ago. It doesn't feel like pancreatitis as when I had that I lost a lot of weight, and I haven't lost any weight now.
Avatar f tn These symptoms could be SO many things including microscopic sludge/stones in the common bile duct, gallbladder problems, Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction, Small Bowel Bacterial Overgrowth, acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, autoimmune pancreatitis, mininal change chronic pancreatitis, etc. Pancreatic and ductal pain is among the most horrendous pain there is. If the Percocet are not managing the pain, a sustained action medication might help!
Avatar f tn Also, did you take the pain medication every day? Does your pain come and go or is it constant? Did the baby have any side effects?
Avatar f tn I have abdominal distention, squeezing pain that starts in abdomen and moves up my body to my neck, drilling feeling behind lower left ribs, extreme fatigue, pain in abdomen, pain in joints, swelling, etc.. I have "a bunch" of Esophogeal Ulcurs and an inflamed stomach, this issue was addressed. I have been to several Dr.'s that don't seem to CARE about ME as a whole.
Avatar n tn Had my c sec august then in sept saw my consultant with keyhole surgery to remove gallbladder around may june 2013. In nov 2012 I wemt to aand e by ambulance after beimg in pain for 6 days a stone went to my pancreas giving me acuute pancreatitis 5 days on iv sent home and told id have surgery asap. Now 11 weeks later still waiting phone everyday and still waiting for a spot for my surgery.
Avatar n tn Because the vet gave us muscle relaxants and rimadahl to give for pain management, his pancreatitis flared up again. Now he is in the hospital on intravenous fluids and pain med injections. I just want to know anyone's thoughts on this? I really believe if he didn't have problems with his neck, the pancreatitis would have been controllable. But b/c of his "slipped disk" in his neck steroids is usually the treatment, but he can't have steroids b/c of the pancreatitis.
Avatar f tn I have noticed, that about half the time that I have attacks, I had taken Vicodine or another pain medication for my degenerative disk an hour or so before. Once, I was eating a grapejuice bar. It seems as though many things can trigger attacks. Sometimes, I just feel strange after eating & know that I might have an attack. Every Dr. tells me that the pain medication shouldn't cause these attacks & even though I once had pancreatitis, they don't think this is the cause.
Avatar m tn However, a few weeks after beginning the injections the abdominal pain returned along with all of the other pancreatitis symptoms. I went to my doctor who thoroughly tested me and said I do not have pancreatitis despite the symptoms. I would also add that he does not know what I have and seems to be under the impression I just want drugs. The feelings of things not being real had returned even stronger despite the injections and I am freaking out. Has anyone heard of anything similar?
Avatar f tn This kind of pain with drinking can be from pancreatitis - I know. I have chronic pancreatitis and it all started with alcohol. Same pain in the back that radiates. They will do enzyme tests to see if they are elevated. But you should go in when you are in pain as if you wait, they could return back to normal. Maybe you shouldn't drink AT ALL. Ask your doc to refer you to a gastroenterologist.
