pancreatitis

Avatar n tn Hi Gayle: Welcome to this crappy club. There are many of us who have gallbladder surgery and then suffer from "post-cholecystectomy syndrome". I had my gallbladder removed in May 2008 but my pain and nausea continue. I now have excellent pain and nausea relief from medication but I'm still looking for answers.
Avatar f tn My family physician discovered that I have Sjogren'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 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 Pain under the left shoulder blade is usually a referred pain from abdomen like stomach ulcers, acidity, pancreatitis, or ectopic pregnancy (unlikely) or from the chest like in heart attack, pericarditis, pleuritis, pneumonia, pulmonary embolus, and aortic dissection. Another possibility is ankylosing spondylitis. Back pain worse when sitting or lying down and feels better with movement is usually caused by ankylosing spondylitis. This is a genetic condition.

Avatar n tn harold2222, Hey there! Sounds like we have a lot in common. My health problems started out as pancreatitis and catapulted from there. I've had all of the very same tests that you have had and most recently I have been diagnosed with gastroparesis. I am unable to digest food at this point. During all of this testing, it was discovered that I have Sjogren's syndrome, Sarcoidosis, chronic pancreatitis and now this new digestive issue.
Avatar n tn That is such a simple yet true statement and yet doctors will not diagnose pancreatitis just by the pain, etc. They, like the true scientists they are, want what they call "objective, quantifiable evidence" and enough signs and symptoms proven out with this objective evidence in order to make a definitive diagnosis. Hopefully, this isn't what you have to begin with although your symptoms are exactly what mine were after having my gb removed.
Avatar f tn It can be due to abdominal distention, irritable bowel syndrome, pancreatitis, inguinal hernia,kidney stones,or just anxiety that caused pain in testicle as your husband was a bit nervous with his pain in abdomen. Request-Im not to threaten you with all of these scary medical terms but abdominal pain in all of these cases must be associated with other symptoms like nausea, vomiting,diarrhea,long lasting pain,blood in stools and lot more.
Avatar n tn CT chest may be needed.Chronic pancreatitis,cardiac pathology and Functional abdominal pain syndrome (FAPS) may also cause this kind of pain. Splenic enlargement and ovarian cysts in females can also cause such pain. It would be better to get CT abdomen done which can clear cut confirm a diagnosis from the above possibilities. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.

Avatar n tn cfm SPHINCTER OF ODDI DYSFUNCTION (SOD) SOD describes the situation where the sphincter goes into “spasm”, causing temporary back up of biliary and panctreatic juices, resulting in attacks of abdominal pain (or pancreatitis). The pain symptoms are very similar to those caused by bile duct or gallbladder stones. Indeed, sphincter of Oddi dysfunction most frequently occurs in patients who have previously undergone removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy).

Avatar f tn He is a diabetic, overweight, and is treated for hypertension. One day way back in the spring of 2006, my husband developed pretty severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. At first, we thought it was just a stomach bug. We had just gotten home from visiting his mother out of state and had been eating out a lot and we thought maybe he ate something that didn't agree with him, so we kind of blew it off as that. However, when he didn't get any better at all, we headed to the ER.
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 n tn Chest pain and discomfort could possibly be due to acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, pancreatitis or any other cause. Heart problem has already been ruled out. Transient ischemic attacks, peripheral neuropathy, stroke, a pinched nerve and cervical disc herniation all can cause these symptoms.In thoracic outlet syndrome there can be pain, numbness and tingling.
Avatar n tn 2 weeks later was diagnosed with Evans Syndrome. She hospitalized. Showed signs of Vastibular, pancreatitis. She passed away yesterday. Prior to the vaccine a happy pup. Running and playing?
Avatar m tn What makes the pain worse? Pain due to inflammation (appendicitis, diverticulitis, cholecystitis, pancreatitis) typically is aggravated by sneezing, coughing or any jarring motion. Patients with inflammation as the cause of their pain prefer to lie still. Pain that is accompanied by heartburns or nausea is often due to dyspepsia or GERD.
Avatar m tn Thank you for your Reply. Another problem is I have 'Bilateral Nasal Obstruction', Polops in Both Nostrils Obstructing my Air ways which is only allowing me to Breath 4% through my Nose. Along with that I get 10 outta 10 pain Pressure Headaches which cause my Eyes the strain and hurt and every time I walk causes my head to pound more.
Avatar f tn CT chest may be needed.Chronic pancreatitis and Functional abdominal pain syndrome (FAPS) may also cause this kind of pain. Lastly,an important cause of such pain along with blood in stools is found in inflammatory bowel disease(Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis). It would be better to get CT abdomen done which can clear cut confirm a diagnosis from the above possibilities.Pls consult a gastroenterologist and get CT abdomen done. Hope it helps.
Avatar f tn constipation irritable bowel syndrome, gas and diverticulitis can cause pain in the intestines. A urinary tract infection or kidney stone may cause lower abdominal pain. Heart disease can cause pain in the abdomen, as can pneumonia, pancreatitis or an ulcer. Ovulation, menstruation, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy can cause pain.
Avatar f tn At 16, I was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. At 25, I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy. They doctors found gastritis and a small hiatal hernia. I also had genetic bloodwork tests performed and I carry both high risk gene patterns for Celiac disease. I stay away from gluten as much as possible. In October of 2008, I started having attacks in my upper right abdominal quadrant. I went to my doctor and she suspected it was my gallbladder so she ordered blood tests.
