Pain in right upper back and under ribs following gallbladder surgery

You stated what I have been feeling for months! That is the source of my anxiety--I thought this horrendous surgery would solve my problems and it did solve one major problem but I am not as "fixed" as I thought I would be. I am still terribly weak with no stamina(almost 3 months post op now)and cannot help but think there is really something wrong(like cancer)that they have not uncovered yet. I responded to another post that they checked Ca19-9, tumor marker for stomach and pancreas and it was elevated. Hence the source of my concern. Mine is not what I would call "free floatiing" anxiety--I am really concerned about what is going on with me then of course, the fallout of my not being able to manage, how will my husband manage etc. Lots of peripheral pressures, in my mind, at least!

I have an an appt next week with a GI doctor and am very glad to be going! I recently had abd CT and labs so she can evaluate and we can decide what next. She did a gastroscope on me in March and it was clear, don't know if she will want to repeat it or not.

Well I'm glad to hear that you're at least really concerned about real things. I guess my best advice for you is to realize that you're never going to be 100% on your health, regardless of whether all this stuff gets figured out or not. I mean, I'm a healthy young guy but I know plenty of healthy young guys who get sick. Have you tried meditating at all? I think it would be a really good option for you because it does help you at least have some peace of mind, even when you're stressed.

I have not tried meditating but really should. I think that with yoga to help limber me up a little would be great. All I have been doing is walking, have lost muscle tone and flexibility. Thanks for your input.
