Arm pain following gallbladder removal

I got removed my gallbladder 6 months ago for I was suspected and diagnosed with gall stones so I decided finally to have the gallbladder surgery. All in all I feel ok now but there's left arm pain following gallbladder removal that borders me ever since I had the surgery. In fact I am afraid of having some heart disease for my family history and am wondering what else complications I might expect following gallbladder removal besides the arm pain.

I don't think that your arm pain could be gallbladder removal related. Maybe you have somehow twisted or squeezed some nerve that goes through your arms, maybe you have spent too much time in bed after having your gallbladder removed or your arm pain might be hearth related especially if it itches or you feel some aches over your hand or so onâ€¦ I don't know what to advice you regarding that arm pain following your gallbladder removal but it is always better to check it out with your doc. I am sure he would know it better. And as for some other gallbladder disease complication I think you won't experience any for your surgery has been performed 6 months ago and you are ok as it seems, the only thing I could advice to you is to have healthy and regular diet this is of much help I can bet it for I also got removed my gallbladder for the same reason like yourâ€¦ the fact is you can keep on living as usual, normal just try top have regular medical checks and you will be fine. And as for your arm pain following gallbladder removalâ€¦I donâ€™t know you better discuss it with your doc.
