My dad had it pretty bad about 10 years ago and has been taking the medication ever since. Anything you want me to ask him?

You want anti-inflammatories, diclofenac or naproxen, or a decent dose of ibuprofen. Get some ice on it and lay off the ethanol.

Naproxyn worked best for me. Of course at the time I thought I had just overdone the falling down water a bit and it wasn't until I got rushed into A&E on the verge of the pancreas going pop that you look back and realise what a plonker you've been. I also found putting ice on it took away the pain short term. If you are getting it a lot take it from one who according to the specialist was about an hour from croaking, then lay off the booze and get it checked out PDQ

If I remember correctly, Nic (yufuin) is a doc. I know who's advice I'd rather take.
