painful ERCP
by Lor, Nov 14, 2001 12:00AM
I recently had a very painful ERCP. During the the test the pain was so bad I was waking up out of the sedation to get off the table. The Dr didn't find any obstruction or narrowing, but did find the duct was inflammed for reasons he doesn't know. Has anyone else had this experience? The post cholecystectomy pain I was experiencing prior to this test was the same pain that I had during the ERCP. He does know that my pain is from the bile duct, but still is unsure of what is causing the inflamation (inflammation).

IT MAKES ME NEVROUS TO LET THIS GO EVEN THROUGH THEY SAY THE BILE IS FLOWING FINE...THE WHY THE PAIN ??? I AM SO TIRED OF THE WHOLE THING...
