Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Hello, Everyone. Just got back from the GI specialist who advised me that he feels that I do not have cp regardless of all my symptoms including the pseudo cysts and the fact that I still need to use enzymes to help with my digestion. He feels I have ibs. Strange though I have tried every option for pain relief for those with ibs and nothing has worked yet. I know my pains are coming from the pancreas however because the numbers don't show it the GI refuses to do any further investigation. He is sending me to a neurologist with the hopes of a nerve block for the pain management. Has anyone had one done? do they work? what are the side effects? pros/cons? any advice would be great so that I am good and informed for my meeting with the neurologist on December 2/05. Thanks............................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 , I'm sorry I don't remember, but have you had an ERCP to confirm CP? Thats conclusive evidense right there. I can't help you with the nerve block as as I haven't had any? Sandy in Ca -------------- Original message -------------- Hello, Everyone.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Do I understand correctly? Even the fact that you have pseudocysts does not convince the man that you have pancreatitis? Is this guy some sort of retard? Does he live on this planet? You had better run, and I mean run, to another doc and never see this person again. And forget about the nerve block until you can find a physician who diagnose you correctly.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Sandy, Had an ercp for the bile tract and sphincterotomy, however never was diagnoised with cp. Had very serious acute post ercp pancreatitis which resulted in 3 cysts that have never gone away and weeks in the hospital. The doctor did not preform an ercp of the pancreas. in Toronto, Ont., Canada Re: nerve blocks , I'm sorry I don't remember, but have you had an ERCP to confirm CP?
