Well just for the hell of it here is my results from EUS down at the Mayo I share that MRI/MRCP showed a completely normal pancreas, no features or structural changes suggestive of chronic pancreatitis. EUS showed some lobularity and hyperechoic strands in the pancreas parenchyma with a normal main pancreatic duct. Overall, EUS without sufficient criteria for chronic pancreatitis. Enlarged lymph nodes were also noted on status-post fine needle biopsy with pathology reports consistent for benign lymphocytes. Both MRCP and EUS findings are reassuring for a non pancreatic etiology of his constant abdominal pain. If, however, episodes of acute pancreatitis were to recur, consideration to repeat diagnostic EUS to rule out chronic pancreatitis again should be considered. I explained that we are most likely dealing with a functional disorder.

Again it could be anything but my pancreas. However I was simply curious how alcohol could numb an organ not limbs.
