Yesterday, after having a CT scan, I was diagnosed with mesenteric panniculitis (MP). Reading a number of posts on the MP board, I am pretty sure I would be the oldest person here. I am a 79 year old Caucasian female suffering many years with this condition that didn't have a name until last week (May 2015). Years ago, a GI doctor told me that the pain in my lower right side originated from the bowel pressing on scar tissue from a hysterectomy I had many years ago. As the pain would come and go, I thought this was a plausible diagnosis UNTIL several months ago when the discomfort didn't go away. It is now in a full-blown flareup for which I sought treatment from my internist who, in turn, suggested the CT scan (hence, the diagnosis). I am quite sure I could benefit from the group's discussions and, hopefully, add something to it.

my husband was just diagnosed with Mesenteric Panniculitis, Theres not much on this Dx. He complains of burning every day after eating anything even jello. Steroids, Carafate, even protonix haven't helped. Does anyone here have any suggestions. This has been going on for close to a month.
