Please also comment on pelvic pain....................

[Guest guest]

Is this also a feature of cp? I have intermittent surges of acut pain

lasting less than 1 minut in the middle and on left/right side of

pelvic area for past 7 weeks,,,,about time I started Ativan. Thanks

for pelvic comments as part of cp diagnosis. Shybasset

I get that too. I have no idea why I get it though. To me, I don't know, blood

work is a true identifier (and ERCP and EUS) of CP. If you are sick long enough,

your blood work checks out normal. The only way to really know, In my opinion,

is to take a peak in there and look around. When I first got it, I was in the ER

with kidney stones, a panc attack and some other stuff. CT didn't pick up the

inflamation. Elevated Lipase and Amylase were it. My Amylase doesn't elevate

anymore, back then it did. I got some ER resident who said, oh, you have

pancreatitis, laughed at me, said if I never ate or drank anything for the rest

of my life, I'd be fine and sent me home. He was right. That attack didn't end

for MONTHS. I fondly refer to it as " the big one " . I knew I was dying, I also

knew if the right doc didn't find me, I would be dead. Finally, the right doc

found me and saved my life. When I woke up, I realized I almost died...it was

weird. CP is nothing to mess around with. It can be

very very serious and life threatening, for sure. Yo have to learn when you

need to get your rear in the hospital and what will pass. It's like a game of

chess. My doc, luckily, does not care. He says if in doubt, come on it! It

concerns me that your doc seems be very relaxed about this??? What's up with

that? What's been done so far and what's in the plan to be done? If this doc

isn't doing enough, move on, ok?-Kathleen
