Pancreatitis and pseudocyst
Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis and pseudocyst
pancreatitis
) They said gallbladder was partially blocked. (Huh?) They pushed and and pushed coaxed and wheedled, trying to get me to have my gallbladder out via laproscopy but I resisted. My instincts were screaming so loud they were deafening. I felt they were holding something back.
Next morning, I found out what was being held back from me. I told them I was close to agreeing to surgery until one P.A. told me they would have do the long, traditional cut because of the cyst.
They will most likely just drain it via upper endoscopy and rescan in a few months to see if it has refilled. They can also biopsy at that point to look for cancer. It is most likely a pseudocyst and, therefore, not a big deal. In fact, most people have them (usually on the tail) and don't know it. My pseudocyst was also on the head and, because of it's location, it was pushing on my bile ducts and even got my liver levels a bit whacked.

This is banana, rice, applesauce, and toast. Lipase can stay elevated for a couple of weeks after a bout of gastroenteritis or pancreatitis. How long has it been?
I have a pseudocyst on my pancreas and im 12 week pregnant my pancreas is really badly necrotised and I now have diabetes and my bs are like 11 to 17 can any1 give me any info on what will happen as the docs don't seem to be telling me anything
My gastro doc wants me to have the pseudocyst drained and biopsied. I have nsaid stomach and they want to do a double balloon endoscopy to see why my stomach is not digesting at all. It takes at least 1 week for me to pass a meal.
9 years ago someone finally did a CT and said I had a pancreatic pseudocyst. The pain would come and go - but last around 2 weeks when I had it. It was so severe, I couldn't function. My gallbladder was removed in 2004 and the hope was, that it would stop the pancreas pain. It didn't. Last year, I spent 6 months in agnozing pain. Drugged up on pills and basically checked out of my life.
After 3 rounds of different oral abx, I got the PICC line and started doing daily infusions of Rocephin. Did that for 7 weeks, knowing to be very careful to eat a low fat diet due to possible gallbladder issues that can be a side effect of the drug.
Well, I began to have an odd burning sensation under my right rib cage, so I called my doctor but they said I had just had my bloodwork done and everything was normal, so not to worry.
The surgery consisted of placing a permanent drain in the pseudocyst, and, NOT with removing the cyst or removing the kidney.
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.
Gallbladder and pancreatic issues can often be tied together especially if gallbladder stones have irritated the common bile duct causing spasms and a backup of both bile and pancreatic fluids. And you may or may not have LFT elevations.
In addition, once a blood test has found a person to be positive for H. pylori and that person has been treated, it's unwise to use a blood test to subsequently test for H. pylori. You'll remain positive in that test for extended periods of time.
im now being directed to take a gastric emptying study which i already have had done a year ago and those results were normal..my question is...is here a link between pancreatitis and bile reflux? and if so, would it not be indicative of an obstruction (due to the minor dilation) of my pancreatic duct....is there any remedies or speculation around these test results?
The second and third portions of duodenum are collapsed and have no fluid within them on T2 axial imaging. No cyst or pseudocyst is seen. No stranding about the pancreas is identified. The pancreatic duct is identified and not dilated.
Kidneys: No obstruction. Ill-defined 9.7 mm mildly hyperintense focus is seen about the lower lateral pole of the left kidney on coronal T2 image 16. This could be a complex cyst.
I had hyperparathyroidism and it was my understanding that was separate from my thyroid issue. I'm not sure that is clinically correct though.
Hope you get more answers.
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.

t really given much say in the matter, as the pancreatitis was a nasty attack and I was strongly advised to get my gallbladder out asap after it. It was a straightforward procedure, with no after effects. I can't really say I felt better, because apart from the pancreatitis incident, I never had any problems beforehand! I do sometimes suffer with the "dumping syndrome" which, whilst unpleasant, doesn't worry me too much as I believe it's normal.
t seem to care about the Pneumobilia and one Dr seemed to think its normal and I might have it forever, but I am concerned especially about possible infection coming from the small bowel into the Biliary hepatic vessels and also can this air be causing the ongoing Pancreatitis?
been suffering from pancreatitis and doctors thinking my gallbladder may be messed up....How common is it to have had a normal HIDA scan with no apparent stones?
or it could be pancreatitis.. if you've been drinking or hitting NSAD's really hard lately..the pain is pretty high with pancreatitis and you'd be doubled over..but not always. A blood test for pancreatitis can be used if you've been drinking a lot.. either way with an ulcer i'd avoid alchohol/tylenol/asprin like the plague. That'll kill your stomach.
You might have pancreatitis. That could cause all 3 symptoms, and the elevated enzymes. Other causes of your symptoms would not likely do that.
Make sure your doctor checks you thoroughly for pancreatitis.
Well I/we know she has a drinking problem, she has started drinking again. She said she researched and drinking Red Wine does not hurt her Pancreatitis. In my feeble attempts of research I have not found anything that supports her thought process. What scares me is she was in a Coma for about 5 weeks and came real close to death for the first week or so, the doctors didn't think she was going to live.
I am a 60 year old female who was diagnosed in the late 80s with acute pancreatitis and still have sporadic trouble today in 2014. A few weeks ago I was diagnosed with hcv and was wondering what effects I would have with the two diseases together, for instance if given treatment for my hep-c will it make my pancreas worse or will I even be able to do the hcv treatment at all?
