Suggest Medication For Chronic Pancreatitis
I have recently been diagonised with chronic pancreatitis which they believe is due to a birth defect. I am 37 year old female approx 5ft 6 " weight 79 kg, up until one year ago was fine. I am now in chronic pain all the time and undergoing pain managment. Doctors have sucessfully put in stents which need to be changed every three months. I also have pancreatitic stones one of which is large and blocking the opening to bile duct. What information is available so i can put forward a strong case to disability living allowance who do not seem to grasp how much pain i am in and how difficult it is to keep positive each day. I have now been unable to work for twelve months and i have no idea when i will be able to return.
if any one can give me answers on what i should be expecting in terms of recovery i would appreciate it.
kind regards
jenny watson

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
I dont think that chronic pancreatitis can be caused by burt defect. In most cases it can be regulated by medications which include insuline 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 citotoxic medications. If there is no improvement then surgical therapy may be considered and include drainage procedures or pancreas resection. This is last option and you should consult your doctor about this.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
