My pancreas is all calcified and getting worse what do you think the best test is to determine if there's more going on it's such a unpredictable disease? Bless You

@gimess, there are so many possible causes and risk factors related to pancreatitis. It's also common to have co-conditions. Members like @sallycinnamon @blaise56 @renem and @harper7745 have all written about having pancreatitis in these related discussions.

I agree with @sueinmn that which tests are right for you is best discussed with your medical team. Do you have a confirmed diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis? Do you have other conditions? Have you considered getting a second opinion?
