First by the kind of pain and secondly by examination of a doctor (internist). Chronic pain to internal organs (visceral pain) is the result of an internal organ disease such as pancreatitis.
In a multidisciplinary pain centre, they can not cure the cause of the pain, but they can do help to reduce the pain that leads to a better life.

The best is have a cat scan or M.R.I.scan.In my case a5.5cm cyst showed up on the pancreas.It has since been drained since.Parts of the pancreas is calcified inflamed that pain can be managed,if I eat correctly.
