Guest guest Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Has any one had or know any body who has had a sphincteroplasty? Im glad the antidep's help you. I am still having a lot of post op pain; which I expected; and pancreatic pain which I had not expected. I guess I am a very impatient patient; it hasn't even been 2 weeks. Thanks for all your info .

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Hi , I understand your post op pain. After my sphincteroplasty I too was extremely sore......but be patient, after 4 weeks I was back at work as a physical education teacher. My appetite was off a bit because my pancreas was aching. Remember, they had to move around a few organs to get to it since the ducts and pancreas lie next to the spinal cord. But then the pain and soreness disappeared. Plan on a good 6-8 weeks until you begin to feel normal again. It takes time, and I believe you made the right decision in having the surgery. Even though I still suffer from CP, the attacks are not as crippling as before and they are getting farther apart, I am glad I had the sphincteroplasty a year ago, because I would always wonder " what if " had I not gone through with it. Best of luck to you! Judy Virginia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
