A blockage of the tube leading out of your gallbladder is called the cystic duct and joins with another tube leading out of your liver (called the common hepatic duct) to create the common bile duct.

A blockage in the cystic duct will give you biliary colic, wave like pain starting under your right ribs and spreading across to your left especially when you eat fatty foods.

If this gets infected, you will get cholecystitis with fever, pain, chills and shakes.

If you get a blockage in the common bile duct, you will get fever, pain, chills and shakes plus you will become jaundiced (yellow).
