pancreatitis relief

I was diagnosed yesterday in the ER. They found through an abdominal ultra sound the tail is enlarged. I have a family history of pancreatic cancer. They request I do further testing. Is pancreatitis something you can get rid of or is it something that kind of hangs around and "flares up"?

s Syndrome with fibromyalgia 7 months ago. Since that time I have been diagnised with chronic pancreatitis, gastroparesis and sarcoidosis. Is there a possibility that these diseases are related? She has attempted to treat the pancreatitis and the digestive issues but have yet to be treated in any way for the Sjogren's or the sarcoidosis. Is this proper protocol?

I came down with acute pancreatitis March 28, 2010. I spent 27 days in the hospital. Nobody has been able to tell me why I got so sick. I was a heavy nicorette chewer for years. I quit the day I went to the hospital. I do not know if there is an association with the nicorette and pancreatitis. Wondering.

I recently had an ultrasound that said I had a borderline enlarged pancreatic duct (4.2 mm). I do not have pancreatitis. I am wondering about causes, if there are any besides cancer or pancreatitis. That is all I have found on this subject. Am scared.

My mother has been suffering from Pancreatitis for the past 4months. She has been in hospital three times with severe pain, vomitting, and fluid in the abdominal. In that time she has lots over 25kg. She is 60 years old but since loosing so much weight she looks like 80 years old. She no longer drinks but continues to smoke. What worries me the most is that she eats very tiny amount of food, she vomitts everyday and she is just not getting any better.

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.

Howdy, A brand new surprise happened to me last Wednesday night. My stomach started hurting with a main focal point at a point over where my gallbladder lives. Over a short 30-minute period it began to hurt worse than any pain I remember except perhaps when I had to have back surgery about 22-years ago. It turned on full blast and I writhed in pain without the ability to get into any body position that provided relief and wasn't showing any inclination to go away.

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.

i went to the hospital a year ago and i was told by one doctor i had pancreatitis but a different doctor told me it wasn't. last week i go to the hospital again with pain and they did an altrasound. the doctor in the hospital said they found a mass on my pancreas. when i was sent to the specialist he said it wasn't a mass that it was enlarged bile ducts. he said they were twice the size they should be. but i dont have insurance and he wanted to treat me for gerd.

He had a cholecystectomy about 7 years ago so not a gallbladder problem, he has had pancreatitis in the past (2x), last time he was in so much pain he was admitted to the hospital and kept NPO for 4 days. He has never been a heavy drinker and he doesn't have a gall bladder so I'm not sure what could cause the pancreatitis. He has cut out all alcohol and fatty and sugary foods, but still no luck in pain relief.

Approximately 1 1/2 years ago I was hospitalized with a severe case of pancreatitis. After numerous tests accompanied with my recovery, it was discovered that I have Primary Sjogren's Syndrome and Sarcoidosis. In the past couple of months I have been really feeling poorly. I have gastroparesis and now a case of the shingles. Somedays, I am tired to the point of not wanting to get out of bed. I expected a slow progression over years, but am really suffering these past couple of months.

I would like to ask a question of Dr. Lupo. 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.

This started about 1 year ago, I had secure upper abdominal pain and was diagnosed with pancreatitis. At first, when I noticed the problem, I was under the impression that my feeling of disjointed reality was being caused by the medicine I was taking. After weaning myself off of the meds the problem remained. I struggled with this for a time and finally sought medical help. Basically, it appears as though the world is not real....or possible that I am sleeping even thugh I am awake.

Hi, I wonder if anyone can offer any advice at all? I am reluctant to go to my GP, as I am currently being treated and investigated for so many other issues (diabetes, Cushing's disease to name just two!) and I'm sure he's going to think I'm a moaning hypochondriac! I had my gallbladder removed 18 months ago, following NO symptoms of gallstones (despite being full of them), BUT following an attack of acute pancreatitis.

Another possibility is hiatal hernia, where a portion of stomach herniates into the chest cavity through the diaphragm. Cough or heart problems too cause discomfort in chest area. Another possibility is pancreatitis. Over the counter antacids and omeprazole may give relief. I would strongly recommend you see a physician about this and get yourself investigated accordingly. Excessive drinking, smoking, caffeine, fried food should be avoided. Hope this helps.

Interview a number of them and see how many of their patients have developed post ERCP pancreatitis. When done in good hands, your risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis is very, very small. Good luck.

It started off like acid reflux which they said was normal due to pregnancy take lots of tums and GI doc put me on extra strength omperzole. I got no relief!! Burning, pulling, spamming left upper to middle abdominal pain went into back. I told Obgyn they told see my primary doc do I did she said sounds like your diaphragm is spamming but we on Flexril muscle relaxer, no relief!! They sent me for ultra sound of spleen, kidney and pancreas as well as blood work.

Almost 5 years ago I had an ERCP performed and suffered with the complication of pancreatitis(had 3 prior bouts of pancreatitis) and spent 19 days in the hospital following the procedure ( and have swore will never go thru that again - it was the worst most painful recovery) I have been lucky I have not experienced any further issues with PBC since the procedure. ( I am not an alcohol drinker so it isn't that ) But now I am experiencing the symptoms of when this all began.

They admitted him and after several more tests and his symptoms they said that he had Schpincter of Oddi and needed to have an ERCP done. Tomorrow will be 5 days since the porcedure, but he still feels no real relief. Is this normal? How long until he will feel no pain in his stomach?

I was wondering was the best under the counter medication to relief pain when you already have gastritis and dont want to cause anymore irritation to you stomach....please can anyone help me....thank you!

m reading say they place the stent at the same time as the Sphincterotomy, for the very reason of trying to avoid pancreatitis. I did end up in the hosp. overnight because of severe pain. But aside from feeling like a horse kicked me in the belly, I'm ok and eating a little. Won't the pancreatic duct scar over if it's not stented when he does the procedure? Also curious, has anyone had a jumping/flipping/painful/?? feeling in the area of the stent shortly after the procedure?

Unfortunately, I ended up with severe acute pancreatitis, and hardly any relief from the procedure. I have tried over 12 medications: amitryptyline, noritryptline, bentyl, levisin, nitro patch, nitroglycerin, toprol xl, wellbutrin xl, neurontin just to name a few. I have consistent RUQ pain that gets worse when trying to eat. I am nauseas almost every day which I take zofran for most of the time that works. Some days after eating I vomit, or have dirreah.

Im 34 weeks today. I was hospitalized for a week with pancreatitis but have been out and feeling better with no pain for 10 days. However, i have gotten way worse as far as nausea and vomiting. I throw up almost everything i eat thats not toast or clear soup. My doctor believes it to be more pregnancy related than my pancreas. I have only had some morning sickness during the 2nd trimester and none during the first. But now this is quite severe.

It seemed from his posture that his tummy was painful so I checked the yard and found that he had some diarrhea too. I took him to the vet and they checked for pancreatitis, (neg) did a blood panel (normal) and abdominal x-rays (showed nothing). So I took him home after they gave him in antibiotic shot and pain relief. I was told to bring him back tomorrow if he is not better for an ultrasound. The vet said they may need to "cut" him open and look around.

The day my stent passed, I went to the ER with terrible pain and nausea but it passed after a while and my gastro doc said the tests did not show pancreatitis. My question is did the ERCP not work, am I going to have to have this again? A cut was made in the bile duct, the dr said it was scar tissue. Does this need to be looked at again? Is it common that this happens? The Dr. said I had SOD type III.
