      The doctors these days seem to give pain meds to those who don't use them, I know a few people who sell their pain meds every month they get 60 to 80! WTF

      I have chronic pancreatitis but luckily I haven't had to get any of it removed. Right now I'm not inflamed but I really feel for you. Every time I was about to leave the hospital they acted like I was junkie for asking for something for the pain, 5 Norco lowest dose possible. I can't imagine the pain you must be it.😥❤️🙏🤬🫂

        @cece_ I was in a coma 5 years ago with necrotizing pancreatitis. Half of my pancreas is dead. The pain is excruciating. I have chronic pancreatitis with acute episodes. I now have a tumor attached to my pancreas. These doctors act like I'm a druggie because I need pain meds, and they act like I'm pushy because I advocate for my own health. I wish you the best. Please keep me updated on how your appointment goes.
