Yes, it normal for you to still be having problems after only a few days. It can take weeks to feel better. If your stools don't return to normal soon you should let your doctor know. The pale stools can indicate a blockage in your duct. Why did you have to have two ERCPs so close together? Did you have a stent put in? I have had 7 ERCPs over the past couple of years and would love to help if I can.

I had a ercp with oddi sphincter monometry done 2 weeks ago and am still in pain today.  They say it can be 2 or 3 weeks before you feel better.  If your not feeling better by next week, go and speak to your doctor again.
