Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis pain emergency
pancreatitis
Ask your doctor to do a blood test for amylase & lipase levels.
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!
In the past year I had two trips to the emergency room, both showing that I had a high level of pancreatic enzymes. I often have diarrhea, stomach pain, and loud uncomfortable rumbling.
I have an appointment with a GI doctor in a week. Will they be able to help.
But would could be wrong with me?
I have a sharp burning pain just below my left rib, I can feel a burning sensation through to my back, it is a constant pain. Went to doctor he gave me medicine for a cough I had but the pain continues. This is 2 plus weeks and the pain has not gotten any better. I take pain reliever 5 to 6 times a day that helps a little. It feels like someone is stabbing me with a knife. Can you give me any information that might help?
The pain actually has gotten worse since since I’ve stopped the wine. The emergency room doctor thought it was a mild case of pancreatitis but my family doctor believes it’s an ulcer. I’ve been taking 40 mg of Prilosec as well as sucralfate. I’ve also been having some weight loss. I had a CT scan and everything came back normal as well as an ultrasound. Bloodwork looks good except for that Lipase panel. Trying to get into see a gastrologist but because of the coronavirus and not able to.
My dog had acute pancreatitis over the weekend and I took him to an emergency vet on Sunday and to his vet on Mon. They both kept him overnight, IV, blood work, meds, and his vet did a rectal x-ray and abdominal x-ray with barium to look for obstruction. He found dirt/sand. My dog ate cat poop covered in dirt. He is at home now doing fine and I have him on a bland diet of canned white chicken and brown rice only. However, his lower abd/belly is a little distended and hard.

I was given a CT scan, but my pancreas was normal. The only pain I have is rectal pain when I have to go, when I pass gas, and when I am sitting. I sometimes have pain in my lower left abdomen that comes and goes, usually have pain when I am sitting. I had surgery to remove uterine fibroids 2 weeks ago. The emergency room doctor said this may have caused an elevated lipase, but to have it rechecked by my doctor. What would cause an elevated lipase? What diseases cause elevated lipase?
i have been having a pain in my upper back for about a month now. i have felt nausea in morings and dont feel like eating till the afternoon. these pains come and go whenever, for no reason.
i would just like to get someones opinion oradvice please!!!
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).
On Friday the pain gotten worse again with Sulphur Burps, Farting and Abdominal Pain. Late Friday night and early Saturday morning the pain gotten worse with farts becoming worse, and had diarrhea (only happened once).
Her mother thinks it something to do when she eats food (as every-time she eats, her stomach doesn't agree with it), but I think it is something else. Can anyone help please?
My schnauzer has pancreatitis. She's the second one I've had with pancreatitis. My first one lived with it for 9 years. The pancreas actually acts as if it's digesting itself. That causes horrible pain that radiates to the back and down the leg. A good thing to feed is boiled chicken breast and boiled white rice in the chicken broth water. Pedialyte popsicles are good to give them. I'm also a retired nurse.

This past Sun night I had an onset of extreme cramping, vomiting and diarrhea, I went to the emergency room that night and stayed there for about 6 hrs. They took blood tests and did a CT scan and said that I probably had food poisoning. The next day I still felt sick but seemed to be getting better. Then on Tues, I went to the doctor for a checkup, they took blood and she said it was probably ecoli..... Since Tues... I have developed this pain under my right rib cage...

So in July, I had my gallbladder taken out only to feel worse. August I ended up in the Emergency Room twice due to the severe pain, only to find that with the pain, my liver enzymes were 4x the normal range. I was then referred to a Gastroentrologist. I then had an endoscopy which showed some gastritis and a hiatal hernia. The GI doctor then wanted to complete an ERCP which is a detailed and more in dept endoscopy to check for possible bile duct stone. Again nothing...I am lost for words now.
