How Can severe Chronic Pancreatitis Be Treated?

I never received by third vivitrol shot because I need to take pain meds at times for chronic pancreatitis. It has been 45 days since my last shot and I m still not feeling the effects of the pain meds. Does this have to do with my metabolism? I also suffer from anorexia and bulemia. Is this affecting the vivitro not being out of my system. I don t know what to do. I am in severe pain.

Hi,

This may indicate chronic pancreatitis which is caused either by alcohol consummation or biliary stones. In most cases, it can be regulated by medications which include insulin supplements and enzymes for digestion

Also, alcohol is forbidden in these cases and you should eat less fatty food, less sugar and more vegetables and boiled food.

Also, avoid cytotoxic medications. If there is no improvement then surgical therapy may be considered and include drainage procedures or pancreas resection. This is the last option and you should consult your doctor about this.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein,
General Surgeon
