ERCP for diagnosing

[Guest guest]

I agree that an ERCP can cause problems with acute pancreatitis. But if it

wasn't for the ERCP, I would still be sick with my pancreas problems. That is

how they found my problems, Panc divism/SOD, my ducts were clogged. I had every

test imaginable to man and nothing ever showed up. All my labs were ALWAYS

within normal ranges. I have found, by personal experience, that if my MD just

goes in and does a look and see with the ERCP, no cutting or stenting, that I

don't get a flair. It was when he did procedures on my ducts that it flaired.

But after the flair calmed, my pain stoppped. Everyone is so different, but if

it wasn't for my diagnostic ERCP, I would still be clogged, in major pain and

not eating.

Love,

Dear ,

I am so sorry you had such a bad ERCP, I would shiver too. Yes, they

definitely can cause problems, and some of them major. The procedure risks are

scary. But they also can provide intervention which can provide you with

complete relief of the pain (my experience). There have been a few ERCPs that I

have had an attack. But once I was able to calm it down, I was good to go. The

ERCP and the skill of my MD enabled me to eat ANYTHING and be completely out of

pain. Everyone is so different with this disease, it is truly amazing. And

never feel you are butting in. It is great that we can all share our experiences

and learn from each other. That's what makes this group so great. Everyone

shares. Hugggs to you too........

Love,

w
