I've heard people complain about this but unsure if this what I have.

Currently I'm on Humira and 6mp. This morning while working out I experienced a burning pain/sensation on the left side right above my hip (this is was not anywhere nearmy abdomen, but more on the side (under my shoulder)

Does this sound like pancreatitis?

No, it doesn't. Pancreatitis hurts almost in the middle, underneath the breasts, and it radiates into the back. It hurts worse if you lie down flat on your back.

okay thanks. Maybe I should stretch more before working out.

I've had pancreatitis once. My pain was directly below my xiphoid bone and my entire abdomen was so tender I couldn't even tolerate fastening my jeans; I needed a loose elastic waist band. At first I thought it was the worst case of indigestion known to man. It came on suddenly and when I had no relief after 24 hours, I went to the ER.

Well 6mp can put you at risk for pancreatitis. I got it from it's sister drug Imuran. However the pain is severe and directly in the upper middle of your abdomen. You'll know it when you have that. Severe vomiting and pain. Seriously one of the worst things I've ever had, landed me in the hospital for a few days.
