The pain clinic said I didn't have fibromyalgia, which was good, but she also said she couldn't find anything. I have real pain and it is every day, all day. Some of the antidepressants helped relieve the pain, but the side effects were terrible. My family doctor is limited in what to do next. I clenched my teeth so hard they hurt.
Chronic pain following pancreatitis is fairly common.
I now suffer from neuropathy, which could have been brought on by the surgery or the radiation treatments. I teach school and sometimes it is very difficult to make the day. I am being treated with Neurontin, Tegretol XR, and Pamelor. This still is not getting me through many of the days. Well, someone has started you on the usual treatments.
