PBC being what ? meno-brain here  :D

No MRIs when my Mum and MinL were diagnosed, GP knew exactly by the lack of movement.  The test was to ask ladies in particular to reach up to open a cupboard so that the point of pain would show frozen shoulder.  My Mum has restriction on one side so is unable to lift the arm outwards or reach to a cupboard.

Primary Billary Cholangitis.
It's where the bile ducts get blocked, which eventually cause cirrhosis.
More women than men suffer from it, and years ago, it was the main reason people had to have a liver transplant. I think it's changed now, by that I mean, because of the ursodeoxychloric acid medicine and this new drug they're just trialling., whereas, years ago they probably didn't have any treatments for it.
It's not caused by booze, In fact , they don't know why it happens, but they did say, maybe one of my parents MAY have had it, but sadly, couldn't get them tested as they'd already past on.....😢

Many thanks to everyone for your replies, it was much appreciated.

My liver function is all back to normal now. It was the paracetemol
that was causing the problem.

My dr has suggested  Neurontin 100mg for nerve route pain in my shoulder
and physoptherapy . Not sure what to do about the neurontin !!
Any advice, much appreciated .

As well as being an epileptic drug it is used widely for nerve pain so this is probably why your GP has suggested it Dede

Reminds me: when we visited Scotland with my dog in 1991 I remember it as raining on alternate days and DH remembers it raining every day  ;D.  I think we were on the same holiday  :D
