I'm new to pancreatitis. Two years ago i went to the ER, severe lower back pain. They thought i was after pain meds, but they did a test and I had a stricture in my pancreas. They put a stint in for 6 months then took it out. I was ok for about a year. Now im in severe pain, back, upper and lower abdomen, and behind my left rib cage. I'm having to wait 3 weeks for a CT scan. Six more days. In the meantime, no pain meds. I have chronic diarrhea, can't eat and am angry. Tried to go to the ER but filled with covid, they said.

My rib cage is sticking out on the left side and looks deformed. Just have to make it to next Saturday. I'm praying I can.
