Tired of No Answers

My husband has been having constant LUQ pain for over 3 weeks now.  First, the docs told him he had pancreatitis.  Then one doc tried to tell him he had c-diff, which turned out neg.  He has had numerous CT Scans, ultrasounds, x-rays, blood work, and an ERCP.  They are all turning out negative, which is starting to get aggravating.  His s/s are LUQ pain that is constant w/periods of sharp stabbing pain; bloating/fullness; diarrhea @ times.  He takes Nexium everyday.  He has been taking Darvocets for over 3 weeks almost daily due to the pain.  He's missed work and can't eat because he's hurting so bad.  Has anybody had any of these symptoms w/answers or know whats going on?  We needs answers!!!

Only that we are going through it too.  My husband had his gallbladder removed one month ago and has had pancreatitis ever since.  He still has pain, he can't eat, we went back to the doc for labs and a CT scan, waiting for results.  He is 67and eats raw vegan mostly and was in good health.  This is scary.  We tried raw spinach juice and fresh apple juice but that hurt.  We tried well cooked potatoes, applesauce and yogurt, even soda crackers hurt.  Mostly he is fasting, but he is weak and skinny.

Hi there
IM no expert but after having my gallbladder removed its been complete hell.ive had several test as well and i get upper abdo pain this is day 9 ive been dealing with it for 1 & a half years/ im having a ct scan next week then more than likely an ERCP. i cant eat as if i do even 1 little thing i blow up like a balloon and get massive pain i understand your annoyance . i can only hope u can find your answer and hope all is well soon
Q: has the gallbladder been removed?
Q: if not ? get checked out for gallstones as they can not been sen at times and he may have them in his gallbladder or they could have traveled due to escaping and gone into the bile duct or may be heading towards the pancreas. Also did the doc clean out his bile duct when they did the ERCP ??? or maybe you need to look at SOD sphincter of oddi ??? a possbility --do what i am PUSH PUSH PUSH to get help
