Abdominal pain can have a variety of causes including: pancreatitis, irritable bowel syndrome, gastritis, and ulcers. It is important to first determine if there are any underlying disease processes that may be contributing to this pain. Often, your pain management specialist will work with your primary care physician and your gastroenterologist to work on a comprehensive treatment plan.
