I was diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis and i'm always drained or in pain. i don't know what i should do.?

Pain Specialist: At this point i would recommend a pain specialist if you are not already seeing one. Pain from chronic pancreatitis is tough to treat. You may benefit from medication management with a sustained release opioid and some occasional immediate release meds for flares. A celiac plexus block may help with the chronic nature of the pain. Spinal cord stimulation can also be helpful.

Pain relief: There are a few ways to treat the chronic abdominal pain. One way is with medical management of pain with narcotics, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents. Another way is have a epidural pain pump placed with continuous epidural narcotics. Another treatment is spinal cord stimulator placed to decrease pain. For energy, antidepressants may help. Balanced nutrition with nutritional supplements.

Tough situation: Chronic pancreatitis is no fun. Treatment will partially depend on the cause of it. Pain control is hard to achieve even with opiods. One option I am aware of that can be effective is solar (celiac) plexus injection/destruction because this plexus (nerve collection) is the one responsible for pain in patients with chronic pancreatitis. Talk to you gastroenterologist about it.
