I am 30 years old am 6 months post partum, 2 months ago I got the most severe pain in my upper abdomen, went to the ER by ambulance twice know to the ER about 6 times.  This pain is like a stabbing pain that radiates a little to the left and in between my shoulders. I spend 12 days in the hospital, they did a CT scan, Hita scan, numerous ultra sounds then finally a ERCP they found a little sludge but no stones. they did the ERCP and thought that it would help with the pain. I did for 5 days now it came back, it isn't all the time and dosn't coincide with food.  They are giving me pain killers but it isn't enough I need an answer because I feel like I'm dying the pain gets so bad. Has anyone heard of anything like this?
