I’ve been to Dr more times than I can think.  

My question is could a pancreas problem JUST give pain in the back ?? I also had an upset tummy for about 10 days , which consisted of loose bowels but nothing else. That now seems to have improved.  

I have posted here before and have had helpful advice.  

All my drs say is anxiety and menopausal !!!!!   I’ve had the back discomfort since late Jan this yr.  

it’s always there but seems to irritate more if I take a deep breath. Heart and lungs are all fine ? 

TIA

    Hi Fiona

    Lots of illnesses can cause back pain, why do you think it’s pancreas? do you have a problem with the pancreas? I get lots of back pain as well and pain in my upper right and left quadrant. It’s defin not the menopause as your doctor would have you think. 👍

      Hi there.  I keep thinking it may be my pancreas as I have had 24/7 localised back pain for almost 4 months and have now developed loose stools and diarrhia.  And despite me suggesting it was now improved I had terrible diarrhia last night ??  

      I have read some much about the vague symptoms of PC that I’m just becoming more concerned.  My dr has only done physical examinations.  

      I ve no idea what to think 🤔

    It doesn’t sound like pancreatitis.  Bank pain and loose bowels do not constitute pancreatitis. If you’ve been to the Dr I’m sure they would have done the tests to rule it out. 

    There’s so much more to it then the problems your having.  I’d get off the internet, stop searching for an illness and listen to your Drs. 

    Good luck to you.
