Can Benign Tumor In Pancreas Cause Severe Abdominal Pain?

I m desperate. Have had terrible stomach pains (burning, pain, etc. and Gerd for almost a year). Have had CT, Gallbladder workup, upper and lower scope, and other tests. Nexium, Protonix, etc. only make it worse. Doctors in Scottsbluff NE, Rapid City, and Denver seem to find no definitive answers. I have benign tumor in my pancreas, one on my lung, and had a couple of small intestinal polyps removed. I have even tried acupuncture. Can t isolate what foods (chance all the time), have elevated bed, etc. but nothing is helping. What are we missing???

Neonatologist 's  Response
Hi,

- Does the pain radiate to the back?
- Do you have nausea / vomiting associated with the pain?
- Get a testing of serum amylase and lipase please
- We'll have to check whether the pain is frequently coming and how frequent because acute episodes of pancreatitis can present with the excruciating pain as you said
- Stay on liquids till pain is there
- Avoid fat and protein diet
- High on carbs
Get these tests and follow up.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jinela Desouza, Neonatologist
