I am a 45 year old female. I have been having pain in right upper abdomen for 6 years. An emergency room doctor said last week that I have a lot of gallstones & my take home sheet says I have Biliary colic. My PCP does not seem concerned & I dont have  consultation till the 29th. I was told that if there is a stone in the duct that I have to have a procedure called ERCP. The hospital I will be going to does not have equipment to do this procedure. What should I do?
Hi, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Gall stones need to be operated. If stones are present with in gall bladder, it can be done as elective procedure, not to worry, avoid fatty food in diet. If stone is causing obstruction of biliary duct that needs to operated on emergency basis. If you notice jaundice, itching of skin, further severe pain abdomen need to consult doctor immediately. Consult your doctor for examination and management. Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries. Wish you good health. Take care. Regards
