I had an ERCP which caused me to have chronic pancreatitis. Have that test done was the worse thing I could have done. I've heard the stents are a no no. Not good results. See if you can get another opinion or 2. I wish you the best.

Hi there. Perhaps your case is differentntjan mine. I have had no pancreatitis attacks at all. Neither acute or chronic. Just stomach lining inflammation and spasm when my stomach is too empty. Nevertheless, the stent comes out of me in 2 more weeks. I am sorry to hear you had such complications with your ERCP. My 80 year old mother has had 2 ERCPs to remove bile duct stones and a Sphincterotomy and is doing quite well.
Without pancreatitis. Better than me actually. Trust me, if I could turn back time I would have opted out of the ERCP and waited longer. I will look at a 2nd opinion when the stent is removed if the stomach inflammation and spasm continue.
