hi.
thanks for posting query.
going through your history , i advice you to have a CT scan abdomen.
sometimes, pancreatic pseudocyst - a complication of pancreatitis is observed few weeks after an attack of acute pancreatitis.
however, most pseudocyst are of NO harm and regress itself.
wish you good and sound health
