I have been having the same type of pain. Starts in the upper left side back area & goes down between my ribs & hip bone. The only thing they can find is an elevated amylase level. So I'm off to see a GI specialist to figure out what is going on. Sometimes a stone from the gallbladder can cause pancreatitis.
No they took it out in March 2006
have them check your amylase & lipase levels. do you have your gallbladder?
No when I had an ultra sound last week they stated that they could not see the pancreas due to a gas pocket. I had a barium enima last month it was unremarkable.
Have they checked your pancreas???
