MULTIPLE CHOICE: I have to assume you are having upper abdominal symptoms. There's a slight chance there could be a retained stone in the bile duct. Other possibilities could be peptic ulcer disease, pancreatitis, or gastroesophageal reflux disease. See your doctor, and prepare to give a thorough history of your symptoms. You may need further lab work and/or endoscopy. Good luck.

Bile duct stone?: There are a number of tests, ultrasound, mrcp that you could have to rule out a retained or new primary gallstone in your bile ducts. If these are clear an EGD/ERCP may help. IF negative you may need additional testing. If it is not a stone then review your meds. Many things can cause right sided pain. See a surgeon or GI doc
