Mrcp- mri scan tomorrow

Digestive health

Hi all.

I was diagnosed with gallstones. And biliary colic I was told they think I have a gallstone lodged in my bile duct. And since May my liver function blood tests have been abnormal.

I have my MRCP MIR scan tomorrow. And I'm really nervous. Never had any other scan than an ultrasound and xray what happens? Has anyone ever had one. What will they be looking for? What is usually the outcome xx

The gallbladder needs to come out. The stones are obviously causing a blockage to your liver. I had the same and had to be hospitalized. Hope you get the surgery fast, and dont worry it is such an easy procedure. Good luck.

You are welcome. Dont worry, mine was completely blocked and I had jaundice. Liver function was way down too. I survived....

I agree with Marketa here the main thing is the gallstone or stones need to be removed sooner rather than later.

Mine showed up on ultrasound scan so that was all I needed.

Get yourself on the operating list because it can be 6 - 9 months waiting.

In the meantime keep to a low fat or even no fat diet, this will help.

Take care and keep in touch

Praying for you

MRCP is a simple diagnostic test where they will find out the location and size of the stone do it don't postpone get your results and report and go to the next step

Thank you! Xx

And yes I either take codeine or tramadol and I have buscopan and lansoprazol. The tramadol and codeine are rubbish with the side effects but the pain does ease with then. X Thank you i will keep you updated.

You're welcome!

Better than tramadol! I use tramadol but got those side effects so i stopped using it. though it's helpful for the pain.

Thanks i'll wait for it.
