    Pat……there are so many nuances to the disease presentation that this type of information is so very important for others to have.
    Sure understand your reluctance of another operation, hospital visits are not a vacation. You know best what to do.
    Hugs,

    Marion, I haven’t felt as though,I haven’t checked, and when I was checked in at the doctor’s office, they did not mention it being elevated, realize I have been living with this for a while, and honestly I didn’t think I would last this long. I have had a few people suggesting just get it fixed, and it is true I am enduring more pain and discomfort by not doing it,so I guess it is time. I much prefer being a visitor or an advocate at the hospital than a patient. Oh well …. better start taking care of this body, I may need it for a while yet, Pat

    Pat….a big huge thanks for this information. From mechanics to medicine…well, here is a connection. I wonder, Pat, during this episodes of extreme shoulder pain, is your temperature elevated as well?

    Well Marion, just 48 hours of anti-inflammitory medication (maloxicam) taken for my bad shoulder and the bile duct is opened up enough for me to see a burst of bile again after drinking 2 beers. I feel better too, I wonder how many people in a similar position with the same symptoms, went right to a specialist that might miss the connection, or any doctor not having all the facts about their issues elsewhere in the body, and just stent an inflammed bile duct , which would have difficulty even with a stent in place. I am a mechanic, I diagnose and repair things, wow am I impressed with the man that figured this out, How many people got a stent for an inflammation, I wonder. I would have gone in for a stent if that was the initial proposal to open things back up. I have read here for a while and this is new to me. I hope this helps someone before someone jumps to the next step. take care, Pat

    Glad it all worked out, Usually it is the other way around; biliary pain transfers to the shoulder. Oh, the mysteries of our bodies.

    Upon seeing my general practitioner regarding light colored stools and he reminded me of the last time this happened I also complained of extreme pain from my left shoulder joint which is completely worn out. By rights I should have a complete shoulder replacement. I dread another major surgery. The last time I had an MRI the radiologist mentioned “I can’t believe he is not screaming about his left shoulder”. When the MRI tech. mentioned this to me. I replied, “who do I scream to? ” My shoulder is in a state of inflammation, which sends off some kind of distress hormone that triggers inflammations to light up all over the body, especially in locations of former trauma and scar tissue. He wrote me a 10 day supply of an anti inflammitory med. and my shoulder felt better and my stools went back to normal coloring.So who would think my bile duct restriction was caused by that? Thank god for well informed, smart doctors…Pat
