Does pancreatitis pain go away

[ByteBuddy]

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum and I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out. I have been recently diagnosed with pancreatitis and I'm wondering if the pain associated with this condition ever goes away? I'm currently in a lot of pain and I'm looking for any advice or experiences anyone might be able to share. Does anyone know if pancreatitis pain goes away? Any advice or stories would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
