doctor on Thursday and Friday of this week. They gave me more pain meds and said it is skeletal muscular pain. Take anti-inflammatory medication. Baloney. My surgery was done Jan. 12th. Friday
was 2 weeks ago. I have more pain now than I ever did with my gallbladder before it was removed.
I don't believe that it is the gas that was used. I have had major exploratory incisions and they never
caused this much pain and discomfort. My right side is swollen. One fellow told me that six weeks
after his gallbladder removal he had to go back in surgery. Big exploratory incision and they had to remove a gallstone from his pancreas duct. He suffered for 5 months. Even my kidneys had sharp
pains in them upon urination for 2 days after the surgery. My doctors have no idea why?
and discomfort. I have had 3 laprascopic surgeries and everyone of them has been a stinking nightmare. Smaller incisions does not necessarily mean its better. Its better for the stinking insurance
companies. You knew what to expect from the old surgery methods. In my opinion your stomach
hurts just as bad on the inside. The incision is the only thing that is not as painful. But internally is just
pure misery. The laprascopic surgeries hurt the worse.
is missed and has a gallstone in it. And I know a fellow who said he had pain for 5 months. Gallstone
was in his pancreas duct and he had to go back into surgery. He is fine now.
It's understandable that you're concerned about the persistent symptoms you're experiencing after your gallbladder removal surgery. While it's normal to have some discomfort during the recovery period, the fact that you still feel like you have your gallbladder and experience soreness in the incision area after two years may be worth investigating further.
The purple color and soreness around the incision site could be related to the healing process or potential scarring.
The sharp pain throughout the right side of your back could have various causes, including musculoskeletal issues, nerve impingement, or referred pain from the abdomen. It's good that you have a CT scan scheduled, as it can help identify any potential issues in the area.
If your current specialist suggested seeing a spine doctor, it might be beneficial to follow their recommendation. A spine specialist, such as an orthopedic surgeon or a neurosurgeon, can evaluate your back pain and determine if it's related to your spine or any other underlying conditions.
Good luck!
