I think that i have had the worst experience with this surgery. This has been a nightmare and it just keeps getting worst.
I had my GB removed in April, it is now Aug. I have bad back pain that just doesnt want to go away. It started about to two weeks after surgery. Ive had Xrays, CT scan, 2 MRIs done and they cant find anything wrong. IM GOING CRAZY. dont know what to do. I was told that i would be out of work for 2 weeks. WE ARE GOING ON 5 MONTHS. Has anyone seen/heard of anything like this.........

yes, i am having the same back pain as before my gallbladder surgery, i have not had any tests done with my gastroenterologist but my primary states i could still have some stones....i passed alot of stones in my stool before my surgery and now i still have a few, not near the quantity as before, but i will see my doctor in a couple of months and i will ask, also i have been severely constipated and i have a bad colon anyway, it has not been a good thing with me either, i hope you are doing better....

I had my gallbladder removed in September. After about 3 weeks the pain returned as if I were having gallbladder attacks again. I was sent to a gastroenterologist who took blodd test, an upper GI, CT Scans, and a MRI, only to tell me that I have a kidney stone and a cyst in my kidney. He said it could be scar tissue or a nerve that got pinched during surgery. So now what, I am back again to my family doctor for a second opinion. I
really thought this was an easy surgery. But it isn't.

i had my gall bladder out approx 6 years ago and i still suffer with severe back pain, and pain as if i still had my gall bladder! My surgery was also the worst i have ever experienced (unfortunately i've been unlucky to have had a few) I to don't know what to do about it! I have not been to see anyone as i feel like a fool describing gall bladder pain when it has been removed!

i had the same thing happen and turned jaundice and the pain was unbearable-I also had many tests done and nothing was found-I collasped one day and was taken to the hospital-finally a GI found the problem-a stone was stuck in my bile duct and fell into a pocket that didn't show in the tests-had surgery that night and all is well

i am just past 3 weeks after gall bladder removal. What's up with this "mystery back pain"? i thought I was pretty much all fine and about 80% or better. But last few days my upper or maybe middle back on the right side is sore.
i saw 2 doctors today and they think it is just back muscle spasms. NOT A KIDNEY problem. I don't seem to have any urination problems or anything. no fever, no sickness etc. Maybe it is simply my back, but doesn't seem like anormal back pain.
meanwhile the surgey areas are a little sore and they were all cool the last week or so. Seems weird to me that the pain is sort of cycling back. I thought i was pretty much over it. I only used pain pills the first 3 days or so and felt improvement up until about 5 days or so ago.
Does it seem like the pain can fluctuate back in? I thought i was over pain.
the back seems the worst. it fgeels like about an inch or so just below my ribs on my right back area. Is this simalar to what you guys feel and the location?
it's not horrible- not like teh gall bladder was SOOOOOO bad. But this is painful. God i hope it's not my kidney. Docs...say nope. but man it hurts..could it be the liver itself?
thanks for any info

I HAD MY GALLBLADDER REMOVED ON 12/20/06. THE PAIN FROM THE OPEN SURGERY IS NEARLY OVER BUT, I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH SEVERE BACK PAIN IN ALL OF MY LIFE. MY DOCTOR THINKS I'M CRAZY. I'M GOING TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM TOMORROW MORNING. I'M GLAD TO OF FOUND THIS SIGHT SO I KNOW FOR MY OWN SAKE THAT I'M NOT CRAZY.

I had my gallbladder removed on 7/11/06 and wish I hadn't bothered. The initial recovery went ok but since then I have been suffering from severe back pain, initially lower down but now just under my ribs. I constantly feel bloated and my digestive system is all over the place one day constipation then the opposite. If I eat anything too rich I throw up and I am constantly suffering from heartburn. At times I'm scared to eat as it's not worth the hassle. I'm having to take painkillers every day and night to control the back pain and even they don't work sometimes. Has anyone else suffered these problems and do they get better.....

Hi,
I had my gall bladder removed in August 2006 after only 2 very severe pain attacks. The second time I was admitted to hospital straight away and had the surgery the next day as the gall bladder was badly infected. Ever since I have been aware of pain that's been getting gradually worse. It has all the tell tale signs of gall bladder pain - but I don't have one!!!!!.
Anyway I went to my gp yesterday and was referred back to my surgeon which could take 3 mths. I couldn't wait that long so I have gone private and after calling on friday I am seeing him on Monday. They say the most probable cause is another stone in my bile duct.I don't want more surgery but I can't live with this pain. Like a few have said it's not like the pain I suffered before but I want it to go. my biggest fear is that they find no reason for this but after reading your stories about kidneys etc I'm now worried!!! Anyway hope fully I will find out on monday.....

I had my gall bladder removed Dec 15th, 2006....the paid was worse than a c-section I had 8 years ago. I am no stranger to pain...as I have had alot of surgery in my life (32yo female).
I felt like I was improving about 1 week out from surgery - the following week started feeling horrible. Now i am 23days post-op abd I have horrible pain. I had been off the pain meds for more than 7-10 before this pain came about 5 days ago. It is on my right side - not like the gall bladder pain, but hurts just a badley. If I sit still it is bearable...but if I bend or twist it is almost unbearable. I can't pick anything up from the ground, tie my shoes, etc... I don't know what to do. I had the surgery 3 days after my College Fall finals - my spring semester starts next week and I don't know if I can attend classes and study with this kind of pain. Not to mention I am so tired all the time now...no energy even for "fun stuff"

I am sorry for your pain and suffering, but I was relieved to here other
testimonies of crazy back pain after GB surgery. I have had this unusual
back pain in the middle of my back that also started 2 to 3 weeks after my operation. I have had CT scans, blood work, x-rays, internal organ test and endoscopy procedure. All negative! . The last test is this week to look at my lungs. I was dealing with the reflux after my surgery, but that has settled down with a new proper diet. If anybody finds out what is the cause of this pain I would love to hear. I also had a rash on my back
for about a week.
