3. Abdominal Pain that Radiates Towards the Back
Healthline
More often than not, the abdominal pain that comes with pancreatitis doesn’t just remain in the abdomen, but it spreads towards the back or left shoulder blade area too. It can come on quickly and intensely, or it can be mild pain that slowly gets worse or becomes aggravated after a meal. Although the pain may start in the general area of the tummy, unlike a regular stomach ache, the pain may feel different and quite aggressive. If you notice this type of pain, be sure to seek medical attention immediately.
