A member asked:
A friend of mine has been told he's getting spasms from common bile duct stone (no jaundice). does the spasm simply indicate abdominal pain?

It can. His body is talking to him. Tell him to listen and take good notes. Then share with Drs.

A spasm can cause abdominal pain, however not all abdominal pain should be assumed to be due to a spasm. His gastroenterologist remains best in further clarifying.
