Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Hi, Pain locations seem to vary per the individual. All of my pain has always been left sided or mid abdomen pain. It radiates to the back, hurting at the bra line in the back and underneath my left shoulderblade. I have pseudocysts that are located on the left of my lower abdomen (in the tail) and the center just above my navel (in the head of my pancreas). These location correlate with the way my pancreas is positoned in my body. Other people complain of right, mid or left sided pain. With hope and prayers, Heidi Heidi H.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 My pain has always been center to left and back. Some doctors look at me like I'm crazy (they'd be the ones who don't know much about it) and others don't think twice about it. From what I understand, it's not always the same for everyone. take care. Rhonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 In the beginning, mine was both right and left sided but now its all mostly left sided, right below my breast around my side into left side of back. Tonya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 From what I've read on these postings it seems that everyone has pain in different places. Personally, I have only had pain to the right of my midsection just below my ribs. When I have a major attack of pain it's always on the right and through to my back under my right shoulder blade. I read somewhere that the pain usually appears at the same place the pancreas has a problem--(head or tail) Hope this helps. > Just wondering where everyone has pain.
