Pancreas

[sandra5353]

I am so worried. Last week I had a cat scan after 3 years of tummy tenderness and back pain. Three years ago I also had a scan and it said I had mild pancreatitus, but this scan says something about the head of the pancreas. Tonight I am going for an MRI to rule out any lesions. I had some slight bleching last week that is almost gone, my stools seem fine, just the back/tummy pain exists. I have also had some slight fluctiations in my temperature. Anybody elose gone thru this? I'd like to know your story.

Hi, ty for responding. So far no blood work, I dont know why. I did have some blood work done on the same day( as the bun creton test for the sca/mri) by another Dr. which I forgot about to check my kidney, liver functions. I should call him about that. hmmm I am going to a gastroilogist on Friday because she is going to read the results for me,( MRI) and 3 years ago, I did have a clonoscopy and passed with  flying colors, so they didnt mention anything else. For 3 years, Ive had back pain due to herniated disks, so if I had radiating back pain due to the pancreas, I didnt notice, I only noticed different back pain like pain/aches and attributed it all to the herniations. An infection? This can cause all of this? wow! Now maybe, just maybe I have a little hope, cause an inection they can fix. Ive been crying for days and nights and depression has creeped in big time.
