Trauma may be a cause of pancreatitis.But since almost 12-14 weeks have been elapsed,there may be chances that pseudocyst has been formed.Go to a good gastrosurgeon or gastroenterologist.Get a CECT Abdomen done.Blood investigation like Amylase,Lipase.Based on the investigations, treatment can be planned accordingly
