Suggest Ways To Manage Extreme Pain In Pancreas

Surgery was first mentioned to remove dying tail of pancreas. Duct stuck and small stones forming. One year ago first pancreatic attack then after 2 days in hospital (high lipase) no further problems.... until now surges of intense pain and a short stay in Emergency. CT with contrast confirmed a calcified tail, but other vitals excellent. Blood tests were normal, even liver function. Despite what is always assumed, I do not smoke or drink and I am a vegetarian. The jabbing pain hits immediately I move to my left side. I no nothing of medical issues but I feel sure, despite tests, that it is caused by the pancreas. When this starts only strong medication with move it - after some time.

Hi,

Triglycerides and calcium levels to be done and control them with consultation of nutritionist /endocrinologist [routine physical and lipase examination is useful], maintain proper hydration [pain medicines will be same as your physician suggests. Imaging studies can tell about surgery requirement. One study suggest OMBW 'Art of Living' course [through breathing techniques] can help to cure pancreas problem via some unknown mechanism. You should also do them.

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

Regards,
Dr. Sunny Madar, General & Family Physician
