Soo123 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hi I’m Sue and not posted since last year , it’s been a frustrating few months , as I began having middle abdominal pain last October and I was sent for a CT scan with constrast by my GP on November 1st . It came back with a small cyst in th uncinate process of the pancreas and was told it was nothing to worry about . But because my pain didn’t go away I was sent to see a Pancreatic surgeon on December 20th who said that there was nothing to concern him and the pain wasn’t coming from the pancreas , but would see me again in 6 months for a follow up MRI scan , which was reassuring. He referred me to a Gastroenterologist who he said was very good at finding difficult diagnosis. I didn’t get to see him but saw his registrar who said that they wasn’t any thing unusual going on and I didn’t need any treatment and would see them again in 4 months to see if anything had changed Now during all this time I have constant abdominal pain , which is now going through to the middle of my back , and get so embarrassed as I could burp for England . I feel completely lost at the moment and I hope you all don’t mind me off loading as it may all be nothing . But pain comes from somewhere and some days I feel really drained with it as no painkillers have eased it so far x Thanks for listening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
