Chronic pancreatitis what pain meds are prescribed for chronic pancreatitis when a person has daily pain from the illness?

Varies.: If there's chronic pain that's severe, a doctor might prescribe daily opioid - a long acting agent and then a short acting one for breakthrough. With flare ups of the pain, i've seen people use Amitriptyline along with opioids or nsaids, coupled with a short hospital stay where the person doesn't eat (so they don't stimulate the pancreas).

Many: There are many options for pain relief from this disease, including celiac nerve block. Medication use involves many choices a well, and you should see a pain management specialist - typically an anesthesiologist - to help manage the pain.
