When pancreatic cancer starts causing back pain, does it come and go, or does it stay constant?

Gets worse: If the back pain is constant and cannot be relieved, you need to see your doctor. This could be a serious issue.

Usually constant: It is not always there and it may fluccctuate in intensity but it is progressive and will require pain medicines if it is from advanced cancer.
