Pancreatic Problems looking for advice.

Ive been told i've got Pancreatitis on two admissions to hospital via A/E. I was asked numerous times if i drink and i haven't for over 20 years. (My Choice/job)? Ive also shown Cirrhosis of the kidneys and Pancreas. Kidneys i cant remember but i would expect so? The back pain can at times be chronic at the bottom and goes from left to right. My left shoulder and arm also become painful and weak. in my right shoulder/arm slight pain. Left ankle swollen and painful and at times gives away.

These are symptoms i know of. Went to see my GP to say i was flaring and he answered "If you were flaring you wouldnt be sitting there aut in agony and also said but then you would know that WOULDN'T YOU? That was November 2015 and havent near or by him since i was gutted. I see another GP about 4/5 weeks ago and told him the symptoms to which he didn't agree as he had never heard of left ankle pain and said it urine related and gave me meds to take which i didn't bother and even go back to see him. I was always reluctant to go back in that practice but have lost my faith in them. Sorry its long winded trying to give as much info as possible.

I'M no nearer the situation. Ive still not seen a GP and cant get an appointment. My care worker is making us an appointment to see the practice Manager after the holidays to ask why no help is coming to me?
