Suggest Treatment For Upper Quadrant Abdominal Pain
I am having very stron upper stomach pain. It makes me really nauseous and every time I eat , it aggravates the pain. A little back pain too. I was admitted to a hospital about 4 months ago that after doing a CT of abdomen & pelvis with IV contrast. The summary was fatty involution, most notably involving the pancreatic head. There is diffuse low density of the remainder of pancreas, which may be chronic but could be indicative of developing pancreatic necrosis. Spots seen on pancreas. I am having real pain in upper abdomen, can t eat & really nauseous. Should I go to the hospital. Nothing helps

Hi. you are having fatty infiltration of pancreas. this is common in patients who are obese and diabetic. Recently, it is shown by researchers that fatty infiltration of pancreas can be associated with increased risk of development of pancreatic cancer. Also, your pain may be related to chronic pancreatitis which can degenerate into fatty pancreas. my recommendation for you will be 1. control sugar and weight loss 2. meet a gastroenterologist for evaluation and treatment of pain 3. be in regular follow up with a pancreatic surgeon for fatty pancreas . all the best

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood that you are a diagnosed case of Pancreatitis with radiological confirmation.
This is the one with or without the gastric ulcer that is the reason for the strong upper abdominal pain.
I would advise you the following:
Get admitted.
ERCP, MRCP and an opinion of Gastroenterologist with much experience in Hepatico-pancreatico-biliary system to get an exact diagnosis and the plan for further treatment, whether medical or surgical.
This alone can help you to get a proper relief.
