Acute pancreatitis miss diagnosed

Hi Kate - Like Reevil, my pain was similar. My initial attack ended up with removal of my gallbladder. I was told I had "sludge" in my gallbladder, not actually stones and my amylase test came back very high. The pain radiated from the upper stomach, lower chest and radiated right through the middle of my back. When I went to the ER they gave me one of the most disgusting medicine to drink to bring the pain down. It was a lidocaine high ball and I will never forget how disgusting it tasted. I can describe the pain as "riveting".. it takes your breath away and you take notice ... You realize something is going wrong and it's not just gas. Whether or not it affects the colon, I am unsure but all the tests I had concentrated on the upper areas of the gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, etc. I'm imagining everything is connected and it wouldn't be unusual for the rest of the body to sympathize with the cause. There are blood tests such as the amylase that are the tell all tale of pancreatitis. You may or may not have a fever and vomiting. With mine, I felt nauseaus but did not vomit. Fats and alcohol are by far the worst thing for pancreatitis. 

I hope I helped some. I was similar to Resevil but did not have any discoloration. I could however, place my finger right on the pain.

I wish you well and hope you feel better. 

Hi glenn

Thanks for your respond. I've had numerous blood works that showed nothing and many stool tests for cancer, and other colon problems that showed completely normal. I've had special blood test that was checking on inflammation that thank god doctor told me it's perfectly perfect. 😳 But I feel inflammation in my colon or stomach. Right now I am waiting for a new test that is called Cologurd and it's more sensitive than the other stool test for checking on cancer. I had a complicated surgery my galblader was inflamed, infected and ready to burst. The Surgon had a hard time removing it. I had a week drainage attachaed on me. And now I am facing the consequences. Two years ago suddenely ive vegan having a stomach pain and burn. I've done whatever I could I diet I watch what I eat but nothing helped. I became severely constupated. Then I did not know if it was my colon or pancreas beacuse the pain was all over going to my chest and my back. I ran to many specialists I even did MRCP everything came back normal. But I was suffering from mysterious pain and constupation. I began searching on line and I kept seeing cancer or pancreas problem. So I've began watching my food to see which one hurts me more. But I didn't have that much difficulty with greasy food and my stool never got greasy or smelly. After a year the pain got little better and I could feel the problematic area beacuse whenever I had bowl movment I could feel it's moving and whenever the stool were reaching the upper left side to go down I would get sever cramp and pain. Sometimes that part was vibrating and waking nfcme up at night. That's why I can not difrenciate which one I have pancretites or colon problem. Beacuse thier symptoms are to close. I still have pain in both side of my stomach along with the large colon path. I wonder why nothing showed in any of the tests that I've done.
