They mri showed a dilated pancreas tail..Now im lost
Hi no nothing has been ruled out yet..I wont see my doctor till have sept27 the follow up of an undoscopy ultrasound ,which is kinda getting me mad im not waiting his long..How long did you have it for before they found out?
Has pancreatitis been ruled out? I ask because I have it right now. I had it 6 years ago too. It affected the tail of my pancreas and I have similar symptoms, such as pain in the left side under my ribs that radiates to the back, discomfort in my upper stomach and it hurts to lay down. I also have had problems for years with diarrhea right after a meal. When I had this 6 years ago I didn't know what it was but I would definitely have your doctor send you to have your pancreas enzyme levels checked. If they are elevated, you may have pancreatitis. I also found out from my doctor today that anomalies in the pancreas are a big cause in pancreatitis. You said that there is something wrong with your pancreas...perhaps this may be the reason?
I'm not the doctor and don't know, but the tail of the pancreas is pretty busy:
