In my experience, pancreatitis hurt a LOT more, and was more in the central left and upper to mid quadrant (where the pancreas is). I've also experience pain radiating from URQ to the back during cholangitis episodes, but not during pancreatitis.

But the ducts are kind of all in the same place:

....I'm noticing a lot of posts about cholangitis and I'm wondering how does one tell PSC pain from Pancreatitis, cholangitis versus Pancreatitis....
