I was just wondering if your back pain ever stopped ... I've been dealing with upper back pain for almost a year after my cholecystectomy ... I feel you it's the worst!!!

No I still continue to have pain in my upper back. The pain is worse at night. These symptoms are draining me.

Hi Everyone,
This whole issue is so frustrating. People are having back pain and pain under the ribs for months and years with no real answers. I had my gall bladder out 6 weeks ago following an attack of acute pancreatitis the day before i gave birth to my baby. Since then I have had near constant albeit fairly mild to moderate pain under my rib cage, but more than that, in the sternum between my breastbones and in my mid-upper back between the shoulder blades. The sternum feeling is kind of a tight sickly winded feeling, while the back pain is a muscly burny pain. I have also been having more frequent bowel movements and more trapped wind. For the past two weeks all of these symptoms disappeared COMPLETELY and as of two days ago they ALL came back TOGETHER. Somebody please tell me what is going on! :(

I had my gallbladder removed 8 days ago and have been having problems with the back pain. It's all across my upper back, under the left and right shoulder blades and sometimes in the middle of the shoulder blades. I called the nurse and she told me it was probably gas pains but it feels different since I had the gas in my shoulder and neck that went away. I've also been feeling my heartbeat in my head and back and I can see it moving in my stomach and chest when I am sitting down. I am really worried there is something wrong.

I agree with you about the pain being different from the shoulder gas pain. It is so typical for nurses and also doctors to be wrong. And pass something off as something you know it isn't. I feel my heartbeat when i put my hand on the top of my stomach but cannot feel it apart that. However when i was severely anaemic following the birth of my baby, I could very much feel my heartbeat in my head. that is a symptom of anaemia.

I'm with you! I had my gall bladder removed two years ago and still have discomfort just below the right shoulder. Icing down with a cold pac seems to help the most , but the discomfort remains!

I feel your pain, fit and healthy before gallbladder removal, now they think I have chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia, pain daily getting worse, GPS are useless, now unemployed after 30 years, waiting to see pain management, the waiting times to get to consultants in the UK are horrendous, what do GPS think we do whilst waiting for consultations? I tell you what we do, we dig deepest, wishing the days away, we are in disbelief at how the medical proffesion can reattach limbs, transplant organs but don't know what to do with the pain after gallbladder removal gang, truly shocking. It's obvious having your gallbladder removed is not as straight forward as told

I just got my gall bladder removed a week ago & im having very bad back pain that just started today I'm just wondering if that's normal after the surgery

Look up Salt Bile from Amazon The middle of my back was killing me after GB surgery! The digestive system is so much more than just taking out a GB. Three years later and i was full of gas and my diet was very strict. Nothing worked so I gave Salt Bile a try! Many different companies make this stuff.

Awsome! I will try anything. For a while I could eat pretty much whatever within reason even fats.. now suddenly I'm back to wanting to puke feeling bloated and crazy diharea. Plus back pain. Thanks I'll give it a try.

From personal experience the back pain you are having (with possible inflammatory issues with the stomach) may be due to the constant flow of bile. Try taking Nexium. It will take a few days to kick in but if your pain goes away...it is stomach acid. It took me two years to figure my back pain out after having mine removed. Something the doctors never thought of. :/ good luck.

Be careful, the powerful Dilaudid can result in spasms of the sphincter of oddi that remains under extra pressure after your gallbladder has been removed! My own insurance has slowly reduced coverage of alternative pain medications, as Dilaudid is old & it remains one of the cheapest. If you suffer from alternative pain and are given the choice between paying $495.00, or taking the Dilaudid & suffering even greater pain from Oddi spasm, waht is one to do?
