as similar to labor pains. Severe Cramping, back pain... She

has CP and is still under going tests. She is scheduled for a

colonoscopy next month. She has a lot of scar tissue on her

intestines, stomach and pancreas due to past surgeries.

Lanie,

How long has your mother had CP, and has she experienced

this type of pain before? I'm sorry that I don't remember her

particular situation in regard to the length of time she has had

CP.

Severe cramping and back pain is a very typical complaint of

pancreatitis pain. As to finding it similar to labor pains, yes,

though it's been 26 years, I guess you could say they are similar.

If she has not experienced this type of pain before, and it

continues, it might indicate the onset of a more serious attack,

and it would be something that needs to be brought to the

attention of her doctor.

I hope this helps.

With hope and prayers,

Heidi

Thank you for responding Heidi.

I think that this was the worst the pain has gotten. She just got diagnosed

after years of pain and vomitting. She had emergency stomach surgery around 11

years ago after her ulcers got so bad that it ate thru her stomach and part of

her pancreas. She was about an hour away from having stomach acid poison her

system and dying. About 4 years ago she went to the doctor and had her stomach

checked again because of not feeling well and vomiting. He said she was fine

and maybe should speak to someone regarding her stress. In other words, he blew

her off and she has suffered for years in fear of doctors.

I finally got her back to a doctor but he doesn't really get the job done. He

is testing her for this and that, but hasn't even sat her down and talked to her

about any of this. Basically he said you have Chronic Pancreatitis, take these

enzymes. We only know what we know due to you all and my research.

Well, thats about all of it. We would appreciate any and all advice you have to

give.

Thanks again,

Lanie
