I am having similar problems and afterdodoing some Google searching there's a lot of people who have this problem after this surgery. I am in so much pain right now and have been trying to figure out an answer I have a great doctor who I trust completely and we have tried an ultra sound and blood work and of course came back fine. I am so frustrated with this constant pain. Is there some kind of test to determine if this is nerve damage??

I had pain for years after GB removal, also developed duct stones 10 years later after taking a proton pump.. Had to have 3 surgeries in one year to remove the stones (two diff ER dr.'s told me stop taking proton pump, which I did , but GP disagreed. No more stones now, but still had pain, a specialist said damaged nerves (after all those procedures, not surprised.) However my point is I was given morphine, dilaudid, variety of pills to stop the pain, did not work. FINALLY diagnosed nerve pain and gave me Nortriptyline. Pain is gone. The first day I had no pain, after 15 years , was indescribable. That med was developed for something else, but they found it works with this type of nerve pain. Best of luck in your search.
Sounds like we all have the same symptoms. I have been dealing with this for 3 years now. No solution, but I did buy a TENS unit to help with the pain. Usually when the pain becomes intolerable in my back I put on pad on the GB scare and the other near my right rib. Turn it on and its like a light switch and the pain is gone in my back gone. I have mentioned this several times to different Dr's I have seen over the last 3 years. So far, this seems like the only solution for temporary relief. ***edited by moderator*** web addresses not allowed
