mesentric panniculitis

[Marilouise]

I was recently diagnosed with mesenteric panniculitis.  Anyone else have this?  It's sort of rare.  I hope I can find a doctor to find the cause and treat it.

It’s hard to find any gastroenterologist that knows anything about about Mesenteric panniculitis   There is a Dr. In Tampa Florida that knowledgeable about this. dr. ducoin . Prednisone will help, and don’t let them say that you can’t stay on it forever. With proper  monitoring, it works. Blood test monthly. Prednisone is the only thing that relieves my husband   There is another Doctor in   New Orleans at Tulane Medical that can help Dr. Hennings.  I hope that you can find proper help. My husband has been suffering too long. Finally we found help, but he is back on prednisone, for now

Hi, mesenteric panniculitis is a rare benign inflammatory condition of unknown origin that affects the mesenteric fat. Mesenteric panniculitis resolves spontaneously in most cases, however, palpable masses may often be found between 2 and 11 years after diagnosis. In general, treatment has been reserved for symptomatic cases. Incidental masses may be observed and left untreated. So, if you are asymptomatic at present, you can follow up with your doctor for monitoring. Regards.
