I went back to see him last year and told him about the pain in my stomach and back and he just felt around my stomach and said, your fine. Its anxiety ! He said, stress and anxiety disorders can make things feel ten times worse then they really are, stop worrying. See you next year. I haven't lost any weight in fact I put on about 10lbs. since I last seen him. No my stools aren't dark, in fact they are a light brown. He already told me that was normal.
I have pain in my lower back and sides that seems to be making me nauseous, my stomach is a little irritated as well which is making it worse. The pain is dull and constant, and is made worse by moving. I did take some Tylenol yesterday, but it was only 2 pills, this has been going on since yesterday but is a bit worse today. I was working Friday and yesterday and was standing on my feet most of the day.
Back in August and September, I was having persistent pain and discomfort in my right abdomen and my right lower/mid back and love handle area right below the rig cage. It seemed to move between those areas through the day and lasted for weeks. I went to the doctor and my blood tests were normal as well as an abdominal ultrasound. It eventually stopped for a few months but now has been back for the last three months and pretty much every day now.
After having the surgery i would still get slight pain and recently i have started getting alot of pain again it sometimes moved to my back but is mainly in the front. It hurts alot and the doctors dont seem to know what it is. The only time that it definatly comes on is when i drink alcohol, but it will come when i havent consumed any in weeks. I would really apprechiate some advice.

I've had the burning pain off and on for acouple of years now. My doctor never said anything about herpes zoster. I've had CT scans and MRI's , wouldn't it show up something on one of the test ?

Hi everyone. I've had a lot of internet and password problems and unfortunately need to get assistance with putting my old posts together. I wanted to update everyone on what has been going on since September. Jamie did update and post for me, but I guess she stated there wasn't a lot of updates from anyone. I haven't been back in the hospital since the beginning of September for the gallstone and the pancreatitis (that is what the GI dr.
re assuming the cysts are causing the pain - is it possible for them to be causing the pain and pancreatitis attacks? Or could there be something causing the cysts AND pain, such as a blockage or something? Chronic pancreatitis has been ruled out- doc says there are no signs of chronic and each attack was just acute. He hasn't consumed ANY alcohol since feb (after 2nd attack), but does smoke ciggarettes (though cutting down to close to nothing).

I started having pretty severe mid to upper back pain (above bra line) days ago. I first thought I hurt my back But now I e noticed bloating and burning abdominal pain. I have been very stressed so I wasn’t sure if I could have aggravated gallbladder, caused ulcer or could be pancreatitis. Normal stools and no nausea however.
would anything other then pancreatitis cause epigastric pain that radiates to the back?,,,that comes and goes.
i get it,but i dont get the throwing up,or the hospital visits i hear about from pancreatitis.
i have not lost weight,dont throw up,the pain feels like a cramp in my diahpram,goes into back,,ive had amalyes/lipase checked,2 ct scans with barrium and iodine contrast,and they dont see anything,,,no stones,enlargments,hernia,nothingwhat elce could this be?
would spyincter of oddi do this?
I am scared this could be Chronic Pancreatitis, I do get flare ups once in a while that are extreamly severe and do feel it to be the same pain and same area as panreatitis that I had before. The tenderness is always there and onset of back pain. I get nauseous too. This is really getting me down and interfering in the day to day of my life.
At times structures in the abdomen can also cause pain in the chest. These are pancreatitis, gall bladder stones and hiatal hernia. Coexistence of two or more conditions is possible such as acidity with GERD along with gall bladder stones. The former will cause referred pain to left shoulder and the latter will cause pain in the right shoulder.
Please rule out cardiac causes first immediately. Then you can consult a PCP if all cardiac causes are ruled out. Take care!
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.
Yes - I suffer from chronic pancreatitis and had SOD. Back in 2006 I had SOD surgery. I also suffer from IBS. Also, one doctor thought I had gastroparesis because I had an abnormal emptying study last year, but I just returned from Mayo and the emptying study came back normal. Also, most recent doctor thought I had Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth and put me on Cipro for 8 days. Now I don't know if the pain is from my stomach/antibiotics or the pancreas.
Trouble was I had a really bad Nicorette habit. Low and behold I have chronic pancreatitis and if I chew the gum--the pancreatic pain skyrockets. I would say "YES" Nicorette either causes, triggers, or aggrevates pancreatitis.
I also had an ultrasound, CT scan and endoscopic procedure and an abdominal Xray and MRI which all came back normal. My blood work showed slightly elevated liver enzymes and Lipase. They ended up doing expolritory surgery to remove my gallbladder and low and behold there were a few stones in it even though none showed up on the many test they performed. I finally thought my pancreatitis was gone for good, however a few months ago it came back.
