pancreatitis

211940 tn?1267881266 for more than 6 months, it has moved from Acute to Chronic Pancreatitis. And as such, there is no cure, and no pain relief that they can give her for her extreme abdominal pain. Which helps to loose weight, because she can't eat or drink, due to the nausea and pain. I can tell U, if the Doctor(s) had the exrtreme abdominal pain and nausea, they would find answers, yester.
Avatar f tn and i did have pancreatitis last year and spent three days in the hospital. But the pain has only gotten worse. I hope they find out on the 30th so i can get some relief.
Avatar f tn 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!
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar n tn Doctor says it could be Pancreatitis but my symptoms are not exactly of Pancreatitis, although pain is severe and it radiates to back but eating (although I eat very little) doesnt particularly increases the pain. Pain moves around upper middle and upper left stomach. It is unbearable and has disabled me I cant do anything and from the past 5 months I am bed ridden. Anybody has any idea what it is? could it be pancreatitis?
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.
750120 tn?1252455030 I've heard that Pancreatitis can be extremely painful and temporarily debilitating. Stay strong. Your subject stated "Hospitalization for Hep-c related Pancreatitis." Why do you think is was the Hep C?
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn BTW, I am not now nor have I ever had an alcohol problem. My Pancreatitis is not due to alcohol. Please help. The pain is so bad that I am not sleeping and I am so nauseated that I can't eat like I should. Nothing wants to stay down. I am 61 years old.
719251 tn?1230340905 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.
Avatar m tn They sent me for ultra sound of spleen, kidney and pancreas as well as blood work. They said all looks normal no relief. The pain got so bad about one month ago I went to ER. They put me on pain meds through IV nearly cut the pain. Took chest X-ray, another ultra sound of the left side more towards middle now and blood work all normal. Set me home with pain patch and follow up with surgeon. So I did he set me for an MRI no contrast of abdominal and pelvic area showed nothing.
436191 tn?1256646306 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.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn However, a few weeks after beginning the injections the abdominal pain returned along with all of the other pancreatitis symptoms. I went to my doctor who thoroughly tested me and said I do not have pancreatitis despite the symptoms. I would also add that he does not know what I have and seems to be under the impression I just want drugs. The feelings of things not being real had returned even stronger despite the injections and I am freaking out. Has anyone heard of anything similar?
Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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!
Avatar f tn On Dec 18th I had my ERCP with manometry and the cut made in the bile duct at IU hosp. A stent was placed in my pancreas and other than some small bouts with pain the next day, I came out feeling much better. However 3 days after, my stent came out and I passed it. Now I am having the nausea and some pain again in my right side and through to my back.
Avatar f tn s or lipase levels, and only slightly elevated (120) amylase levels which is surprising since this identical to the pain I was having with the acute attacks of pancreatitis. I am being managed with low dose hydrocodone only taken when I am working (high stress, active, nursing job) in order to function, otherwise I am incapacitated. I have tried supplemental enzymes for months (creon 20,000) with little (maybe placebo-like) relief. Theories now are SOD and IBS.
Avatar f tn 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.
