Does stretching make the pain worse?

If you have pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer, does stretching by putting folding your hands backwards and reaching high over your head change the pain at all ? Does any type of position or stretching make the pain better or worse?

Leaning forward (hunched over) kinda fetal position but you're sitting up, helped me in the past. I tend to use heat packs on my abdomen and back, those help me a ton! I also take Tylenol to help with inflammation, sometimes it helps more than pain meds.

+1 on the hunched over position.
I found that anything that works my core muscles aggravates the nerves. But, if it doesn't hurt, go for it!
