Hi all, just wondering if anyone else is in the same post pancreatitis pain boat as me. i was in hospital for 13 days in March with acute pancreatitis, tube fed and several collapsed veins struggling to keep me hydrated and topped up with morphine and whatever else they had!

my amylase was 1705 on admission and its been classed as idiopathic, i am awaiting a date for a camera to be put down to 'have a look for sludge' in my gallbladder! I'm still getting bouts of pain in my back and it feels like its under my ribs both left amd right sides mainly. And still i just dont feel right. i'm taking creon & lanzoprazole for the forseeable and seem to be taking pain killers alot more than i would like to. My GP hasn't been the most helpful when i speak to them, which is great! Just wondering how long it took for people to feel like themselves again?

Thanks.
