    Hi

    Im just wondering is there anyone out there who suffers with pancreatitis, im 22 but have been sufffering with it for the past 4 years and its hell...It went undiagnosed for 2 years and when they eventually found it i also had gallstones and pseudocysts on my pancreas... agony...

    After the removal of my gallbladder, the cysts became the problem being 10cm X 10cm in size, a mass which i could feel in my back. I got it drained recently but am still in pain, ive started to read up about chronic pancreatits and am worried that i may be developing it as i am CONSTANTlY uncomfortable or in pain on a day to day basis...

    Has any body been thorugh the same or have any info on it for me??

    Hey!

    I got acute pancreatitis when I was 15. It was awful and the pain was just unbearable. My doctors told me my case was pretty rare though because mine was caused by steroids (which I was on for crohn's disease). I was in hospital for a month with it but thankfully I've never looked back... just a matter of steering clear of steroids!
