anemia/symptoms after ERCP
by JaimeK, Aug 17, 2002 12:00AM
Hello!
I had an ERCP in May. The Dr. cut both sphincters (pancreatic and gall bladder)because both were really tight and thick.
My symptoms were relieved for about a month. However, recently, it seems like all my pre-ERCP symptoms (nausea, crampiness, diarrhea) are returning. I developed pancreatitis and bleeding from the area the cuts were made immediately after the ERCP.
Now, I have developed anemia...and the iron pills are making me sick.
Has anyone experienced something similar to this?
I'm supposed to go back to my Dr. but not for another 2 months. I'd appreciate any advice anyone could give me!!
