What Is The Treatment For Lumbar Spine?

Hi, I have pain on the left side. I recently had a MRI for the lumbar spine. Something showed up at the head of pancreas, (not sure I spelled it right). I have testing done for gull bladder stones and for the gull bladder. All testing came back fin. I have pain, bloating, sick felling and after I eat or drink something I get full fast and the bloating comes on. Can you tell me what might be causing these problems and what other testing I might need to have done? Thank you

Hello

As there is doubtful lesion in head of pancreas,I suggest you to go for further investigations.
Contrast CT scan of abdomen should be done to assess pancreas properly.It is the investigation of choice for assessing pancreatic abnormality.
It may be the reason for your symptoms.
You also need routine blood investigations and it includes routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver function test,serum amylase,lipase.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.

Get well soon.
Take Care
