I have pain under my left rib the past month n half been to the doctor says it is severe reflux which i have since i was young but it is radiating to my back im terrified its chronic pancreatitis as this has happened before?

Both are possible, specifically gastritis or a posterior ulcer and definitely pancreatitis. The pattern of the pain onset with regard to intake/meals is also critical in assessing your pain. Your gastroenterologist remains your best reference at this point.
