Ive been having sharp pains in my sides and abdomen for two days now. Sometimes it just randomly happens and sometimes it happens when I take a deep breath. It isnt all the time, and not often. I would like to know if its Pancreatitis, or just growing pains. (Im a 15 year old female)
Hello! I read carefully your query and understand your concern. If this pain happens only once in a while it might due to constipation, if it happens near your menstruation time it might due to that, or it might be a muscular pain. You don't need to worry because if the pain was caused by a serious condition it would be there all time and would be accompanied by other symptoms. Usually Pancreatitis cause a severe pain in upper abdomen that irradiate in the back, nausea,vomits and a very sensitive abdomen when you touch it. So I don't think it is Pancreatitis. If the pain get worse, or lasts for some days, and you have other symptoms such as fever, vomits,diarrhea then I should consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.Meanwhile, you can use Ibuprofen and Tuscan to relieve this pain. Hope my answer has helped. Take care. Chat Doctor.
