Diagnosed w/pancreatitis need help

I was diagnosed with pancreatitis last summer and had my gall bladder removed.  I have pain daily in that area and pretty much all over that general area.  Also, sometimes my lungs hurt.  I don't drink alcohol and hardly eat.  I don't have insurance or any money and can't afford to go to a doctor's office.  Is there anything to worry about?  I am worried but don't know if I should go to the hospital or wait till I can't tolerate it anymore.  Also, they said my labs were indicative of hepatitis but I tested negative for it.  But it has been six months since all this but the pain persists.  Should I ignore the pain?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

I also wanted to add I've had MRIs, CT Scan, etc before I had my gal bladder removed and they said there was sludge and I guess they assumed that would cure everything.  I don't have a PCP or anything unless someone out there who knows of a doctor or clinic that does pro bono work in the Nashville area.

I am scared, worried, hurting constantly, and can't find any advice or help online and the docs at the hospital weren't very helpful.

I just need some advice really, should I go to the hospital (a different one) or just wait for areally bad day where I can't stand it?  Also, the nurses accused me of being addicted to pain meds because I was in so much pain and the meds weren't touching the pain, which really pissed me off, and that is also part of the reason I haven't sought anymore help, I didn't want to be accused of that again.
