A member asked:
Seen earlier for chronic pancreatitis flare. lipase level normal dr refused admit. told him pancreas is burned out levels no longer rise. stillinpain?

Other cause: Has your doctor considered other causes for your pain? Since your lipase is normal this is not likely to be due to pancreatitis, but I would suggest having labs rechecked in 24 hours if symptoms persist. There are many other causes of abdominal pain and nausea/fever which should be explored
