Pancreatic pain can start in a variety of areas, depending on what is causing the pain. Generally, pancreatic pain is felt in the upper abdomen around the stomach area, but can also radiate to the back and the chest. Pain can also occur in the right shoulder, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting. In some cases, the pain may be felt in the lower abdomen. This could be an indication of a more serious issue, such as pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer, and medical attention should be sought immediately.
