What Is The Cause For Inflammation Of The Common Bile Duct With Moving Gallstones ?
Hi, I have been diagnosed with moving gallstones but also inflammation of the common bile duct. I am really worried about the inflammation as I need further tests to find out what the cause is, what could it be and what tests will I need to have. I only have pain in my right back and all the information I find on gallstones relates to pain in the abdomen, I occasionally get a pain under my right or left rib cage and groin pain but that's it. Thanks for answering.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.The impact or irritation of stones or a mild obstruction also can cause inflammation of bile ducts.Over active gallbladder can cause the stone to move to the ducts. If you having a continuos pain and discomfort you might need a surgical treatment.Approach a gastrointestinal or general surgeon for that.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
