Another update...possible new med's.

[Guest guest]

I have just been reading posts for the past couple of week since my

last ERCP. They had to use a local because the conscious sedation no

longer works and with my new plumbing it is a ways to go to get to my

biliary tree of my liver where my latest problems have been occuring

in addition to Chronic Pancreatitis.

But to the new med's. My doc pulled be off oxycodone, which I have

been on for about 2 years. The withdrawls have been Ok, slow. In place

of the oxycodone she put me on Cymbalta. It is mostly for depression

but has been OK'd for nerve pain from diabetes. It has knocked the

pain back abit with Methadone 30mg x 3 times a day my pain is

considerable more controlled. I average 2-3 on the 1-10 scale for

pain. Some time 4-5 if I over exisert myself. And with the last ERCP

which really helped they dialated my biliary tree of my liver (Right

side) and the area where they sutured the new plumbing in place.
