Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain in the abdomen that you have can be due top pancreatitis but the exact diagnosis can be made only after an examination and investigations like ultrasound scan. You are already taking a prescription medicine for pain. Stronger pain killers do need a prescription.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
