The ERCP I had was very painful,with the pain decreasing over time.

No one told me there was going to pain so it took my by surprise.

The heating pad and hot baths worked the best for me. Good luck.

No one told me either, and I think it is because my GI doc, just doesn't know a whole lot about this. When he first diagnosed me, he had to download some stuff off of the computer for me to read. He really made it seem like this was "no big thing". They never warned me that while they fill the balloons it would hurt.My doc told me he noticed I had "a little discomfort", that was more than discomfort.susierac wrote: The ERCP I had was very painful,with the pain decreasing over time.
