Help - Pancreatic Divisum and pain mess limited
Posted , 3 users are following.
I have had pancreatic Divisum him for 15 years and I have tried all the different therapies and operations I am at a point now where my doctors are telling me that I shouldn't be in so much pain due to various stents and ercp's. My Gastro and pain doctor are not wanting to keep me on my pain meds and those are really the only things that get me through the day without a trip to the ER. How do I get them to believe me? It's exhausting to have a disability and have doctors not believe you. Any thoughts?

You won't convince doctors about something they already know. There is an enormous push from National Health Services Agency state by state to reduce opioid prescriptions.The staggering increase in accidental overdose particularly in suburbs where middle & upper middle class whites live has been devastated with overdoses. There forever, the law is aggressively prosecuting physicians of patient who overdose.
Folks like you & I who suffer from divisum are caught in the cross fire and being encourage to utilized non-narcotic pain control methods which doesn't even stretch the surface of relief from this type pain. I been on going attacks since Jan 2013. Emory University put Stent in 2015...had longest period of no attack afterwards of about 18 months. I thought I was cured! Nope been back several times since and just came home 48 hours ago after 8 day stay in hospital. What next? Going back to Emory University Hospital in 5 days to evaluate what the next procedure should be. My life has never been the same since my first attack. This illness rules your life and dictates most things in your life that once was your choices. All gone now. I live with it when I'm sick I go to ER not gonna freaking suffer at home like I use too no.more.
