A member asked:
I was diagnosed with chronic pancreatic after an eus, but i have no symptoms. should i request a second opinion as i have neve had a pancreatic attack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: I would and have an amylase and lipase level drawn. They will be elevated in pancreatitis. If the pancreas is inflamed there is a lot of pain radiating to the back shoulder blade but maybe less if chronic. You would also have very greasy stool and be loosing weight
