If your doc suggests an ERCP be done, make sure it's done WITH manometry. If that step isn't suggested, find another doc who understands SOD. SOD can only be diagnosed with manometry. If the pressures are raised it's the only time that a sphincterotomy should be done - and pressures can only be measured via manometry.

Did you get MRCP?  Check for SOD Dysfunction...  An ERCP maybe needed.
