In Sep 2004 I had my Galbladder removed because of stones. still to this day I have bad pain almost all the time on my right side under my ribs. I am not able to sit for more then 30 mins with out it startting to hurt really bad. driving for some reason is very painful for me I don;t know if it's the driving to sitting but what ever it is it makes the pain worse. I have been to many doctors and was told it was scare tissue and surgery may not fix it. this Dr. put me on pain meds witch helps. But alote of the doctors I have seen like the new one know I am seeing, thanks I am CRAZY and wont refill any of my meds she says people don;t hurt that bad after that many years. I am not crazy
Hi maleah**, I am sorry to hear about all of the pain you have been experiencing. You are right in being concerned. No one should live with continuous pain and you are entitled to gain answers. I have never had gall bladder issues before but have heard that it can be quite painful, even after surgery. I had a colleague who underwent surgery and did not change her eating habits. Now, she was a terrible eater, and this is probably not your case. She consumed nothing but fast food, drank heavily, and smoked. It was no surprise that she continued experiencing pain well after surgery. It sounds like you have seen several doctors about the persistent symptoms you are having, is that true? If not, you are entitled to a second or third opinion. Not that you are doctor shopping but trying to find answers as to why the pain is ongoing. I trust you will gain some more advice here on SteadyHealth as well. Good luck!
