Chronic Pain Due To Pancreatitis, Suffered From Grey Turner's Sign. What Can I Expect For The Rest Of My Life Concerning My Health And Comfort?

Thanks for posting your query.
Pain in pancreatitis is often severe and persistent. Since you have already been operated upon, the pain is likely to subside gradually.
Chronic pains are generally hard to treat.
Continued use of pain relieving medications along with alternative therapies such as accupunture may be helpful. You can continue using vicodin on as needed basis. Taking Gabapentin regularly will help in decreasing the pain perception in the long run.
If the pain is still persistent then consulting a pain specialist will be helpful who will grade your pain according to severity and will treat you accordingly.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
