A member asked:
Father in law had a whipple 4 years ago. now has chronic cough, achy joints?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Cough and joint ache: have him seen by the doc to assess for possible infectious causes of the cough and joint aches. Doubt the Whipple procedure has anything to do with these current symptoms. Good luck.
