Knowing the Pain of Pancreatitis

[Guest guest]

True, pancreatitis is a true ten, but, A kidney stone is a 15. Try

having them both at the same time. I'm just lucky that I was too

immobilized by then to get to my gun.....lol...

I really don't believe anyone that has had neither can truly realize

the pain. Nausea and all else aside. Btw, my doc also thinks I'm a

lush. Maybe two drinks a year.

Good luck Mike,

I guess there are different type stones, mine all (21 over the

years) have looked like a mace. That is a little ball with spikes

all over it, razor sharp spikes, cut your finger spikes,1/4 " in

diameter. Don't know if that makes them big or small, but, I know

when they travel from the kidney to the bladder, there is no

medication that takes the pain away or even makes it bearable. You

have to wait for it to stop moving for relief. At least with my panc

if I go in the er and they hit me with a 150 mg of demerol it

definately takes the edge off. I am never pain free with the panc

but atleast sometimes I can funtion somewhat.
