Hi guys, couple of weeks ago I felt a sharp pain in my abdominal area radiating to the back. Went to hospital, did a CT scan & was diagnosed with pancreatitis. Got admitted and they did an endoscopy. Endoscopy came out clear, with no gallstones detected.

Stayed in hospital for 2 days while being on antibiotics and IV drip. Was feeling better and got discharged. The whole of last week from Mon till Thursday I was feeling like normal but last Friday the abdominal pain started again, up until now. Pain is even sharper today.

Wonder if anyone here ever experienced acute pancreatitis? How long did it take to get completely like normal?
I don't know if I should go to hospital again. There's no real cure for pancreatitis. The only thing they can do is hook me up to IV drips to better manage it.

Thanks.

are you stressed? then control your stress, you could start doing deep breathing regularly.
this is my experience as someone who had chronic inflammation, any part of body can get inflamed, now very good, pain reduced significantly, white blood count is normal.

stress is something that our immunity system could not handle.

Ya, I also suspect this. Didn't want to get vaccinated but had to in the end after all the restrictions for unvaccinated individuals. Sigh.

which vax you took?

Sinovac

after the vaccine i got diverticulitis. perforated intestine. also got link to covid vacccine but also quite common for those above 30. twice hospitalized, the recent one due to bloody stools and acute pain.

it wont go away. pain will come if got infection so need to reduce red meat and more fibre intake.

twice i got anally probed.

Any example of where inflamed?

That one is the most useless vaccine hence I took that too la lol

mostly joints, it can happen on my eyelid, earlobe, gum, muscles, ankle (can be joint?), eustachian tube, lungs airway (simulating asthma symptom), head area (causing headaches/migraine), chest area (thinking kena heart attack lel). i think myself kena minor meningitis too

whatever it is, stress is bad.

Don't eat meat

Sorry to hear about your condition.

Avoid solid food for the time being. It should get better in a week or two.

Did the dr check the bile duct?

Can share how it felt to have camera enter you lubang belakang.

You mention gall bladder. So the camera enter you lubang batang(pee hole)

Damm having camera enter lubang batang can't imagine how painful its gonna be

So you take steroids to reduce inflammation?

one time only, when suspected asthma attack. usually i will just manage with curcumin by taking daily or ibuprofen/diclofenac when needed.
doctor said rheumatoid arthritis and lupus is highly unlikely, so yeah, they just put placeholder 'chronic inflammation' diagnosis.

PM me your blood works taken the other day.

More or less ruled out surgical causes with i assume an EUS the other day, you should go to the ED for at least a bedside usg scan and an erect chest xray along with relevant bloods ie amylase, calcium, lipids blood gases and urine diastase.

Usually a patient with resolved pancreatitis may come back with a recurrence and/ or complications ie walled off necrosis/ pseudo cysts.

Severe panc if diagnosed warrants icu referral yo

Diverticulitis or perforated intestine or both at the same time?

Because they’re not the same and management is different.
I would assume that your had a diverticular bleed and was diagnosed via a colonoscopy.

Because if you had a perforated intestine you would have to go for a laparotomy

few weeks after pancreatitis, chatgpt says its pancreatic pseudocyst

My mother had it. Took her gall bladder out. Okay for a few years, but never back to 100%. She had the trifecta- high sugar, high blood, high cholesterol, so it wasn't just the pancreatitis. Her health deteriorated back again, towards the end, she felt pain in her stomach again, doctor suspect recurrence. Surgery was risky because of the trifecta, plus she was on warfarin.
