Pancreatitis is much worse than gout and very different.
I've had both, pancreatitis once from too much alcohol and gout about 8-9 times.
Gout is prolonged burning pain and inability to get rid of it. It's like having shards of glass lodged in your joints. Mine has been on toes, elbow and ankle at different flareups.
Pancreatitus is a mother ****er of sudden incredible pain that cuts across your abdomen for 30-60 seconds, feels like someone is twisting your upper GI into knots, takes your breath away, made me cry, and then goes away only to repeat this numerous times per hour for 16-28 hours. Your pancreas goes through spasms.
I don't want or need to get stones for comparison. I'll take everone's word on the pain.
Pancreatitis was a 15 on a 1-10 scale. I never want that again, ever. Not even for $5,000,000
