Back pain, pancreatitis are integral part of the disease of the pancreas. Most of the diseases of the stomach or of the pancreas is accompanied by painful sensations of different intensity, localization and intensity. The difficulty level, stage of development, the plot, which made the effect — it all contributes to the localization of the pain syndrome. For example, acute pancreatitis makes itself felt excruciatingly severe pain that radiates to the back. Its manifestations of this disease resembles the lumbar sciatica, but the pain will differ in intensity and duration.
If the spine has any diseases, back pain can be described as piercing. Therefore, it is called lumbago. The severity of pain affects posture, which is often the body, so if you change the position of the body, it is possible to significantly reduce the appearance of painful sensations.
The definition of pancreatitis and its effect on back pain
Acute pancreatitis back pain are persistent. All attempts to reduce the unpleasant sensations will fail the degree of intensity does not affect the position of the body or load. After some time, this pain can not add nor change the intensity of his character. Back pain can be detected during an exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis. But they are not so stressed, even if such manifestations may be taken for any disease of the spine. Localization of pain depends on which part of the pancreas is in need of care.
If the inflammation is the tail of the pancreas, painful symptoms appear on the left, they give the lumbar and thoracic. If you hit the head of the pancreas, the pain occurs on the right and enter the right part of the thoracic spine and the lower back.
It is a very painful process, when there is total loss of authority, necrosis of tissues or there is swelling. In this case, the nature of the pain is very strong. Pain clings to the abdomen and back. This may be due to the fact that the pancreas is near the solar plexus and a lot of nerve endings running through it. Therefore, any destruction, injury or inflammation often covers the upper part of the abdomen and back.
Find out what happens (behind or in the pancreas) can be the pressure on the spine and palpation. If the origin of the pain, sciatica or degenerative disc disease throughout the area of the spine, causing pain.
Pancreatitis is characterized by degenerative-inflammatory processes in the pancreas. This disease occurs regardless of age, and the number of patients is constantly growing. The intensity of the symptoms and treatment of such problems is determined by the severity of inflammation, the severity of the damage to the body.
Often this disease occurs in those people who tend to eat too much, frequent use of fatty, heavy food and strong drinks. To promote the development of the disease factors can affect the body so that it begins to produce proteolytic enzymes, and this is the factor, which causes inflammation.

If any symptom of the disease is associated with malaise and worsening of the condition, should seek emergency treatment immediately.
Symptoms of chronic pancreatitis
The chronic form of the disease characterized by inflammation of the pancreas later changes to the structure of its tissues. The main difference between chronic, acute, that even after treatment and deal with the cause of the disease the chronic stage further to develop the pathological processes, and disruption of its functioning. So, there is pancreatic insufficiency.
The initial stage of the occurrence of chronic pancreatitis can take a long time and sometimes experience some of the symptoms. Long-term chronic form of the damage in the body happen constantly and cause people anxiety, pain and tenderness.
In the early stages, pain after eating, which may take a few days or hours.
