Still in Pain 4 Months After Acute Pancreatitis

Hi all,

ive been reading loads of really well informed advice on this forum so i am really hoping that somebody can offer some advice in my case.

i had acute pancreatitis 4 and a half months ago. i was in hospital for 12 days. since my discharge from hospital i have had abdominal pain every day despite taking a range of painkillers including tramadol, pregabalin, tramadol and Oxycodone. I have had a CT scan that was reported as my pancreas being better but still some fluid collection and fat stranding in my pancreas- the Drs have said this shouldnt be causing me so much pain and that i should have felt better a few weeks after the attack.

Has anybody else had a similar experience with ongoing pain? the scan also showed no permanent damage and i had an MRCP scan showing no damage either . I am really worried that it is not normal for the pain the continue for so long and that i may have chronic pancreatitis after just one attack

Thank you for reading this
