I had a CT scan of my pancreas and it came back abnormal. As of yet we don't know the reason. They are thinking autoimmune pancreatitis. Waiting on more results. However can I ask other people. Has pancreatitis ever caused anyone neuropathic pain in surprising places? Possibly due to malnutrition.
Many thanks

I am sorry about your troubled pancreas. I have neuropathic pain in face, head, neck, legs, feet, and hands. I do not know if the pancreas is the culprit though. The vegas nerve and celiac plexus supply nerves to all of the gastro stuff in the gut along with the pancreas. I have had a celiac plexus nerve block to help with the pancreas pain but it did not do much. Your remark about malnutrition caught my eye though. I have had long term Vit D deficiency, and I have had long term weight loss. I was thinking the malnutrition was causing more of a electrolyimbalancence that causes heart palpitations. Either way, the mose important medicine are pancrealipase such as Creon, and these help digest food and get the vitamins you need.
In my case, inflammation has caused the pancreas to become damaged over time, hence pancreatic insufficiency. But the inflammation can be very painful, especially during an acute episode.
