A member asked:
I had a mild upper right abdominal pain, an ultrasound report showed the presence of a stone in my cbd but no jaundice or acute cholangitis yet. does this indicate that though a stone is there but it is not obstructing the bile flow yet?

Yes, there is no complete obstruction yet but it may when it moves down further. You need to see a GI doctor for intervention as soon as possible. Good luck to you and wish you a good recovery.

pain usually occurs with partial and total obstruction. So some form of obstruction is there with the stone
