High rdw, low mvc & mch, hgb 13. chronically tired constant pain in abdomen lipase normal, had a 5mm gallstone could it be pancreatitis.left rib pain?

Talk to your MD: Your blood profile is unlikely related to what you're feeling unless there are other causes like hypothyroidism which can cause microcytosis. Your abdominal pain is likely related to a symptomatic gallstone, causing pain as the gallbladder contracts.Pancreatitis can develop but not currently.
