A member asked:

I have gallbladder disease, is it possible to have bike duct blockage from a stone with only mild pain on upper right side?

Maybe: Do you have known gallstones? Generally bile duct blockage or obstruction from gallstones is painful and associated with nausea, vomiting ; yellow jaundice. Partial gallstone blockage may not have all those symptoms. Usually an ultrasound ; blood tests are fairly helpful in diagnosis. Sometimes MRI is done (mrcp).

Yes: If you have known stones, they may escape the gallbladder and block the common bile duct from draining the liver and gallbladder. This is a very serious medical condition that requires immediate evaluation.

Yes: If you are having symptoms and you know you have stones you need to see your doctor. Sounds like your gall bladder needs to come out.
