A member asked:

Had dull constant pain left upper abd radiated to left lower to mid back. feels better if moving around scared of pancreatic cancer. no fam history.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

LUQ pain: Most of the time cancers are painless. If pain happens from cancer that means it has spread, by that time patient would have had some other symptoms like weigh loss or other symptoms based on where it originates from. May be helpful if we get more information to discuss differential diagnosis of the pain
