Chronic pancreatitis with persistent pain and swelling requires careful evaluation by a specialist. You should consult a gastroenterologist or a pancreatic specialist to review your case in detail. Management may include adjusting medications, enzyme supplements, dietary changes, and, in some cases, procedures to relieve duct blockages or surgery to remove damaged tissue. Avoid alcohol and follow a low fat diet to reduce stress on the pancreas. Pain management under supervision is essential, and in some cases, referral to a pain specialist may help. Regular follow up and monitoring are crucial to prevent complications and maintain quality of life.
