Re: I am so confused, someone please help - to Jen

Jen,

ask the doctor to have an ERCP. Sometimes the damage doesn't show up on

the MRCP, but does show up in the ERCP. It really worries me that your

lipase is alwasys so elevated. Also, you are entitled to a second

opinion from another doctor. It definitely sounds like you need one.

Especially if the doctor is unwilling to do an ERCP or give you some

sort of diagnosis. I'd look for a pancreatitis specialist. Sometimes

the divisum can cause CP, even though it doesn't show the signs of it

causing the CP. That's what happened to me, though I only had repeated

acute attacks for many years and then eventually turned into CP and

constant daily pain, though it took a long time for that to happen.
