Spasms after Whipple

Hi there.

I had my Whipple in 2022, and have had these spasms frequently since then. Over time, they became worse in pain and began to last hours. Turns out, I had a major narrowing in my bile duct that could only be found through ERCP. I’ve had a revision since then to redo my bile duct connection and clean out any scar tissue. The pain subsided for a couple of months, but eventually the scar tissue grew back. I’ve had stents in and out since then, which also cause some pain since my nerves are so bad from the procedures, but they do provide some relief. Has anyone else had this issue?
