pancreatitis

Avatar f tn Thank you so much for the response doubleaaaron. I appreciate it. I'm at such a loss as the doctors are stumped. None of them have mentioned pancreatitis. While my labwork has improved since the sepsis, all other symptoms are static. Can't eat, and when I try I am vomiting and in pain. Weak, tired, and frustrated. Good info about the ercp, I will definitely ask the gastro if that is something they can try if the endoscopy doesn't show anything. Thanks again.
Avatar f tn Thank you for the post, but did you catch my original post about 10minutes before the one you answered? They had me on so many IV antibiotic when this happened. They never went and did anything to the joint itself. Is it true that the joint, prosthesis, has staff in it still and is that why it hurts so much still? I pulled my medial ligament by the knee replacement recently and have been feeling "sick" like I felt three years ago when the sepsis set in and almost died.
Avatar n tn We are really sorry to hear that you suffered septic shock and severe sepsis. That is a difficult situation. We are glad you survived but sorry to hear you have long term issues after. It is really important that you communicate these issues with your doctor. It is not uncommon to have various issues of pain as well as other things following sepsis. This article talks about how it can happen soon or much later. https://www.livescience.
Avatar m tn CCU, ventilator and sepsis survivor here. Plus half of my intestines pulled. Pain was only a mild cramp with a stomach bug symptom for two weeks. I'll never take any stomach pain for granted anymore. Could be as little as a colicky colon causing this or just about anything. Seek a second opinion with a different hospital. Hope you get to feeling better soon!
Avatar m tn This was acute necrotizing pancreatitis with sepsis and organ failure. His gall bladder never did show stones except on one ultrasound weeks after he was admitted to the hospital. The scans did show sludge blocking his common bile duct and that is what caused the pancreatitis. After nearly dying, he is still trying to get stronger a year and a half later. He was left with insulin dependent diabetes as a result. The sludge is kind of like sand and bile mixed and can block the duct.
Avatar f tn Onset is quick--- surgery on Wednesday, ill by Friday, in ER by Saturday, diagnosed with sepsis and operated on, dead Monday. There were 4 patients admitted to the hospital the Saturday my mon was with sepsis. Three lived, one died. So, if you don't have issues of pain and possibly fever, I would not worry about a bowel perf.
Avatar f tn Hi all. I have been going thru so much physically and emotional past few months,more than normal. The last 2-3 months I have had more pain and totally lack of interest in everything. I did have sepsis and was in hospital 7days. I've been out 3 weeks still no motivation. I'm on effexor as another pain med. Is all pain and stuff causing this or am I depressed and need to talk to Dr. Is being depressed causing more pain or pain causing depression? I'm so frustrated at all this.
Avatar m tn 2) can syphilis cause such a serious infection and sepsis-like symptoms 8 months after contraction? Bearing in-mind my immune system was very low because of the trauma of the RTA. 3) my symptoms are permanent nasal discomfort (for 7 months now) and a temoporary blister/red lump on the penis shaft full of pus which lasted only 2 weeks. How often does syphilis affect the nasal area and how often is the chancre full of pus?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn It seems in England most are happy to leave them, but Im not convinced this is a good thing. She got Urinary Sepsis about two wks ago and ended up in hospital, and her speech at the same time because very weak and a bit slurred, and her swallowing problems which she had from when she was first diagnosed got worse and she is now having to breathe in after speaking, which she never had before. Im not sure who else I could take her to for a second opinion to be honest.
1264088 tn?1279480822 I am a 46 yr old female, nonsmoker, non drinker that was in great health before I had gyne surgery 3 yrs ago that resulted in periotinitis, sepsis and drug resistent C difficile. I have had chronic upper, right side, back and flank pain for 3 years. I just had my 2nd endoscopic ultrasound that showed an inflamed pancreatic duct. I have had gastro/colonoscopy/CAT scans/HIDA scans.
Avatar f tn t they avoid all together contrast dye if they labeled me with sepsis?? Being that my understanding Sepsis can damage kidneys and to top it off taking a diet pill??
Avatar f tn There are three levels of Sepsis or Septicemia. There is 1. Sepsis, the earliest state 2. Severe Sepsis, the intermediate state and 3. Septic Shock. There are all whole body inflammatory states/reactions caused by the introduction of a bacteria into the blood stream. I have had Sepsis once, Severe Sepsis several times and Septic Shock once all over a 2 1/2 month period of time. This was following a MVA where I suffered extreme, open internal bowel and kidney injuries.
Avatar f tn For some insight, sepsis is a bacterial infection in the bloodstream or body tissues, and in order to make a diagnosis of sepsis, at least two of the following must occur: a heart rate above 90 beats per minute, hyperventilation (more than 20 breaths per minute) and white blood cell count below below 4000 cells/mm. You haven't listed any symptoms so for a perspective frequently, people use the term sepsis to describe 'severe sepsis' and 'septic shock.
Avatar m tn why was not intensive care when he had suspected sepsis. 2. and can sepsis kill so fast that there is no time to bring patient to intensive care, even when it is near by?

Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn I had a baby girl ,my first, on Nov 21. I was in labour for over 24 hours and was eventually sectioned. The baby couldnt cry, they had to suck out liquor from her mouth. The doctor said my placenta had multiple infarcts, the liquor was brownish and the meconium was stale. they too the baby to the ICU but i eventually lost her on Nov 23. The Doctor said the cause of death was overwhelming sepsis and my water must have broken for sometime and the baby has been exposed.
Avatar m tn 00) or afford the insurance ($1282.00/month) needed to get back on Remicade. In May I went into sepsis or septic shock and by the grace of God lived though it. But how can I avoid Sepsis in the future? Plus how do I deal with the pain?
Avatar m tn His brother carried him to the car and took him to the hospital. It was a UTI and Yesterday when I went to see him ,The doctors said the infection spread to his BLOODSTREAM!!!. His fever is down but flutters between 97 & 100. He has been there 3 days and not walked... I NEED TO KNOW what to expect?
Avatar m tn my son was hospitalized when he was six weeks old and the doctor told me that he is suffering from sepsis but he is one year old now and still he breath fast and his body is too hot to touch at certain times and so therefore he can't even crawl,sit well and his neck can't stand well too
Avatar f tn I'm worried I have Sepsis, I currently have a bad infected ingrown toe nail, and I feel generally unwell since yesterday afternoon, so it's now been over 12 hours since I've felt like this. How fast does sepsis progress and if I had it, what would be the symptoms after 12 hours? Thank you in advance!

Avatar f tn "Sepsis" or infection of the newborn infant is caused by bacterial invasion of the amniotic fluid prior to birth. This can occur because the membranes that surround the baby are not totally protective, or can occur after the membranes are ruptured. Also, the longer the membranes are ruptured before the baby is born, the higher the risk of infection. The infection is most often caused by normal bacterial that are present in the mother's birth canal.
Avatar n tn Last November I had a severe pneumonia and sepsis. The pneumonia was in the lower right lobe therefore I have assumed the pain to be scarring but when seeing a chiropractor today he thought the pain was too low down to be from my lungs and wondered if it could be from my liver. Can anytime help me with what typical symtoms are for a liver problem. Apart from the pain I have a lack of appetite, intermittent nausea and fatigue.
Avatar n tn 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.
