History Of Umbilical Hernia Surgery. Have Abdominal Pain, Back Pain Under Shoulder Blade. CT Scan Shows Disappeared Mesh

I have had three umbilical hernia surgeries and have been experiencing lots of sharp abdominal pains. I had a cat scan awhile back and was told one of the two meshes is gone the other is buckling. Is there anything they can do to help. Also been having lots of back pain on right side under shoulder blade what can that be? Also been diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM

As your operated hernial mesh is gone, sharp abdominal pain could be intestinal movements getting obstructed in hernia. consult your surgeon you may need surgery to correct your hernial repair.

For chronic pancreatitis diagnostic tests may be necessary to identify an anatomic explanation for the pain like pseudocyst or duct obstruction.. and to plan appropriate treatment. If no anatomic explanation for abdominal pain can be found, medical therapy can be attempted. This therapy includes pain control with analgesic agents and a trial of noncoated pancreatic enzymes.

Hope this helps you.
