Waiting for biopsy - what can I do for back pain?
They found a mass in my pancreas. 1.7 cm - Im currently waiting to get the biopsy done.
My question is what does everyone do or take for the back pain? Narcotics make me very sick. I can't get comfortable at all. Took some Tylenol but not really helping.
Thanks!

Swimming took care of my pain. But yours could be from tumor, rather than weak back muscles. CBD CREAM helped by back also.

1 ReactionMy back pain was related to meal size. I found that if I ate small portions during the day rather than 3 main meals then the pain was less. I'm on chemo now, taking Creon and don't have the back pain. Best,

1 ReactionCareful with the Tylenol. Many of the chemo drugs are very abusive to the liver as is Tylenol.
While not really a joint or muscle pain, see if the doc would prescribe pain patches.
@skedzie, how are you doing? How's the back pain? Do you have the results of your biopsy now?
I have found relief with Tramadol. I take one at bedtime and one about 5-6 hours later and then nothing during day and I'm usually ok - thank you for asking.
My biopsy came back from.my local hospital as inconclusive so instead of waiting on them I made an appt with Mayo. Going next week...staying positive and hopeful!
