CP or PC?
Posted , 9 users are following.
I have been having symptoms of CP for year since Jan 2019. Upper left abdominal pain under the bottom rib bone and side of the rib after eating, belching a lot, pain is at level 1-2 no more then 3, and left upper and mid back pain. the back pain only when I sit down or stand very straight or bend backwards. I don't feel the pain after I fall asleep, no pain when I need to go bathroom middle of the night. Stopped drinking since Sept, I wasn't a big drinker only 1-2 wine or beer during the weekend. Floating stool sometime yellow but mostly brown and well formed. I don't have much pain in the front now, all in my back and shoulder blade. Nausea and bloat after eating.
June 2019 colonoscopy clear
Aug 2019 Blood test and breath test for H.pylori clear
Sept 2019 Ultra sound clear
Dec 2019 Abdominal CT Scan clear
Feb 2019 thoracic and lumbar spine mri clear
Terrified I might have PC, because i don't have disable pain like Pancreatitis but feeling sick and unwell all the time. Alcohol never make my pain goes worst.

18 hospital stays, 2 endoscopic ultrasounds at MUSC and MCG, 10 CT scans, 4 ultrasounds, Cholecystectomy, Creon with every meal for 3 years... nope, I'm not "mistaken". I've battled idiopathic chronic pancreatitis for 3 years and my pain is always upper and slightly to the right with radiating pain to the right side of my back. i promise I have quite a bit of experience in the CP department... also increased lipase levels are only indicative in cases of acute Pancreatitis, not chronic. I been on this forum for a while and am only trying to help.

Hi, thanks for your reply. i have the same feelings as you have described more or less. it all started almost 2 years ago with only mild pain on the right side under the ribs, then since last May I have this pain also on the left side under the ribs. Mild, more of a discomfort. Plus pain in my left shoulder that comes and goes. Pain changes a bit depending on what position I assume... worried it is PC. They couldnt find gallstones or dilated ducts, nothing. Only mild fatty liver
