Hello everyone,
About 3 years ago I was hospitalized for pancreatitis, spent a week in the hospital and by the time I went home the pain was gone. I don't drink and the doctors couldn't find any gallstones or tell me what caused it. I was fine for 10 months then it came back, the same pain in the same spot, I had bloodwork done every week, had a hida scan which showed my gallbladder wasn't contracting as well or quikly as it should but was fine othe than that. I also had an ultrasound, CT scan and endoscopic procedure and an abdominal Xray and MRI which all came back normal. My blood work showed slightly elevated liver enzymes and Lipase. They ended up doing expolritory surgery to remove my gallbladder and low and behold there were a few stones in it even though none showed up on the many test they performed. I finally thought my pancreatitis was gone for good, however a few months ago it came back. I was admitted to the hospital for a week, out for a week and then admitted for another week. My doctors have performed all of the test mentioned before including diagnostic surgery but have not been able to find anything other than a hiatial hernia, a small ulcer and a "idopathic" motility disorder but they still can not figure out whats causing me all the pain. I have Hypothyroidism and take synthroid. They did a biopsy and have suposely cleard me of pancreatic cancer and autoimmune pancreatitis. But my doctors are now at a loss as to what to do now since they have already done every test from A-Z so they will now be refering me to the Mayo Clinic, I was wondering if any one out there has any ideas about what my problem is.....
