pancreatitis

Avatar n tn I am getting some similar pain but mine is not so bad, it came on after I was prescribed Penicillin and took strong pain Meds and had dental work done , I am still a mystery but not taking any other prescribed meds that make me ill.
Avatar n tn I'm new to this area. I too had SOD surgery about a year and a half ago. Still having pain to this day. They said it "could be" scar tissue, but the only way to know is to go back in again, which could set off acute pancreatitis. I did have an internal sonogram done with a scope to verify I have chronic pancreatitis. I too take enzymes with everything I eat. But, I also had a test that determined my stomach empties slowly - so possibly an overall motility problem.
Avatar n tn I HAVE BEEN SENT HOME WITH PAIN MEDS 3 DIFFERENT KINDS WHEN MY STOMACH PAIN COME ON THERE IS NOT MUCH I CAN DO THE ONLY THING THAT SEEM TO CALM MY PAIN DOWN IS I.V. MEDS AT THE ER.

750120 tn?1252455030 I've heard that Pancreatitis can be extremely painful and temporarily debilitating. Stay strong. Your subject stated "Hospitalization for Hep-c related Pancreatitis." Why do you think is was the Hep C?
Avatar f tn I have pancreatitis. Have had 8 weeks of extreme pain. Pain has now subsided. CT and Ultrasound keep showing mild pancreatitis. A cause cannot be found as i have no gallstones and i dont drink alcohol. I have seen a specialist, who sent me home with pain meds. I now have diarhea, for the past month. Sometimes it is oily. Stool sample shows nothing. Blood work shows slight rise in A + L levels. Nothing to be worried about. I have lost 14kgs in 2.5 months. Most of which was lost in the last month.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed in 2001 with Pancreatitis. Dr. did a couple of scopes (endo & gastro) I was put on 3 different meds. Domparadone, Buscopan, Rapabrazole (excuse the spelling, its very late) Also on a clear liquid diet for 2 months. Lost a lot of weight during this. Thought the problem was fixed. Then one day, BAM its back. Is there a cure, or is this another disease I just am going to have to "live" with? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn 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!
Avatar f tn I have chronic pancreatitis diagnosed as chronic 6 years ago. I am on stron pain meds and have to fight the insurance company to get them, sometimes not get them. I have increased pain in the last few months and the meds are just not cutting it. I have been to my gastro/pancreas specialist and had some tests done and I will be going on a transplant list. I am taking Methadone HCL 10 mg. 2 tabs 4x day & have been taking 600 mcg. Fentanyl 4x for breakthrough pain.
Avatar f tn I went right into the hopspital when I had pain and was dehydrated,but after 3 days the enzyme levels showed it to be pancreatitis. I spent another 4or 5 days in the hospital with no food, just IV nutrition and pain meds. I asked for an ERCP to find out what caused it and after the procedure I again spent another week in the hospital. You are right it is a horrible experience, and over the years I have had that pain time and time again.
Avatar n tn just remember pancreatitis is a progressive thing most the time,and taking away what triggers it will help..and MEDS...pain meds are truly needed to take away the pain for a better quality of life.
Avatar m tn Now its been basically non-stop, confirmed by mri, that it is chronic pancreatitis, and fatty liver. Im being sent to a pain specialist for the pain, and hoping he can offer relief, because Ive been recieving very little help from my doctor with that. Im 5'5", used to be about 138lbs, and now am 162, with gain of 10lbs a month on a low fat diet, no meat, no bread, soft food. I dont understand except unless wieght gain is from thyroid going wrong, im hypothyroid.
Avatar m tn My cat was DX w pancreatitius & met all symptoms for a few weeks / the meds worked but it got bad. Then a big turn happened. He started eating & now won't stop! His constant meowing is driving me crazy.he lost weight whwhen really sick. He is still underweight but why does he demand food 24/7? I'm so stressed out I can't think straight. Upset too if his DX was wrong we spent so much $$ on labs/meds. Now I'm not sure/don't think he has it! Help.
Avatar f tn She was in serious pain before her ercp. She had pancreatitis for about 2 weeks before the procedure. After the procedure she was pain free, not even a tylenol needed. The doctor said she had narrow bile ducts and a cyst on her common bile duct. Has anyone experience this? 1 week later she is smytom free with no pain. 5 years ago she was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, but could not take any med for the disease because any med gave her pancreatitis.
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 n tn i have had a colonoscopy and upper scope and still they cant find the source of my pain,, i have also been checked for gall bladder again come up with nothing.. i have been on meds for acid reflux,, anxiety,, pain meds the doctors just are not coming up with anything to help with this pain ..
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 I am no expert in the field but, from my experience, food and water is usually completely stopped from 1-5 days to let the pancreas REST. 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 m tn Hi Kelley. I'm so sorry to hear about your little boxer. Pancreatitis is a terrible disease for dogs (and people) to endure. If your vet hasn't yet performed an ultrasound, that will be the next step. They'll need to check to see how swollen the pancreas is, if there is something like a tumor or pseudo-cyst, or even a birth defect causing the trouble. It's even possible there is something blocking the pancreatitic or common bile duct at the root of the problem.
Avatar f tn During a recent trip to Mexico, I came down with 'travelers diarrhea' - fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomitting, dehydration. Upon arriving back in the states, I was readmitted to the hospital due to elevated amylase and lipase. I didn't have the severe pancreatitis pain until later that night and then only one other bout two nights later. A CT scan, ERCP, and internal ultrasound were all normal and I was discharged after 5 days.
436191 tn?1256646306 Bankerlady, I feel for you as I've lived with intense pain - unresolved by surgeries and other therapies for many years (14). When they decided to take the gallbladder out, was it because there were stones or other findings on the scans? Have you ruled out issues relating to disc problems in the neck or muscle problems in the shoulder/torso? I would imagine you had gi pain and symptoms like nausea/bloating/constipation etc. The Sphincter o f Oddi conditon is tricky to diagnose.
Avatar f tn 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. Could she be having a relapse?
Avatar f tn s or lipase levels, and only slightly elevated (120) amylase levels which is surprising since this identical to the pain I was having with the acute attacks of pancreatitis. I am being managed with low dose hydrocodone only taken when I am working (high stress, active, nursing job) in order to function, otherwise I am incapacitated. I have tried supplemental enzymes for months (creon 20,000) with little (maybe placebo-like) relief. Theories now are SOD and IBS.
Avatar n tn Then 2 wks later pain in the middle of my stomach started I thought I had pancreatitis again but my lipase count was normal. The stomach pain went on for months. I had an ultasound/normal, CT scan/normal, EGD they found a little inflamation/reddness in my stomach/did a biopsy/normal but I was told I had a small hiatal henia (probably from the birth of my son) and treated me for acid reflux.
