Pancreatic Cyst
Posted: 10-04-06 11:29am

Hello, I was wondering if you have any ideas as to what this might be?

I have had left epigastric area discomfort off and on for two years. I have had two gallbladder us completely negative. My amylase, lipase always normal. I do have really bad indigestion for which I take prilosec for at least two years.

Last week I awoke to severe belly pain. I can't say specifically it was in one locale. It was just crampy and all over. I had huge amount of flatulence. I was very, very nauseated. It continued for 48 hours with no vomiting or diarrhea. The nausea pretty constant, but the pain was colicky...Off and on. The night of second day I had temp of 100.8. I continued to have a low grade temp for two days. I ended up getting a ct scan that was neg for diverticulitis, etc, but did show a non-specific 10mm cyst in the body of my pancreas.

I will have an mri in a few weeks. I am still nauseated off and on, and I have acheyness in left epigastric area. My stools are not gray, but I have at least 3 a day that alternate diarrhea and solild. I actually have been that way for about two years. Sometimes they have a really foul odor sometimes not.

Any ideas on what this is? Should I be concerned enough about the cyst to want an mri sooner?????

Thank you!!
