Is It A Matter Of Concern If Having Cramps After Stent Was Put In The Pancreatic Duct Previously?

I have a history of pancreatitis since 2007, had to have a stint put in my pancreatic duct in 2009. I thought have been having cramping spells in that same area..thought is was cause from drinking Mt. Dews but I've haven't drank any in over 4 days..the pain is coming and going..should I be concerned?

Hi.
You need further investigation to see/ rule out other possible reasons for cramping.
Consult the Gastro Doctor and undergo the tests like ultrasonography MRCP, Endoscopy etc.
And to undergo further treatment as per his advise.
