Need upper GI: The persistence of pain can be of stomach or pancreatic origin. An upper endoscopy can define if there is a perforating ulcer into the retroperitoneum or calculi in distal common duct. A CAT scan of abdomen can get a better look at stomach or even pancreatic pathology which should be performed to define treatment protocol
