Guest guest Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 Dear Gail, Have you not had a complete pancreatectomy? I'm confused I suppose, but I thought that was the case - and to read that you're still having pain that is referenced as pancreatic pain baffles me somewhat, as I guess I thought that would all be behind you. Please enlighten me, if you would! Are you saying that you continue to have pain based on the surgery(ies) that you have had? Thank you very much for the information, and I apologize if I am confused beyond help. That is entirely possible too. Peace, Terry << Elicit, I believe that most of the pain we had from chronic pancreatitis is referred pain. Irritation the the organs muscles and connective tissues in the abdominal cavity, I have had back pain, woken up with severe Right flank pain, and now have severe Left upper abdomen pain and left shoulder pain. I do believe it depend on the location and severity of the pancreaitis or pancreas obstruction and the surgery you have had to treat the pancreatits. Unfortunately the pain pathways are disturbed and disrupted from the inflammation and the cutting of the nerves. Take care, & God Bless, gail >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
