I had my gallbladder in Sept of 08, never sick before, after the surgery I started getting this pain in the lower area of my ride side, my ribs, if I have to sneeeze LORD HAVE MERCY, how painful. after reading all of these I guess I am just going to have to find a way to live with it, or get hooked on pain pills, this is rediculous! :cry:
So wait, do you continually have pain even after you've had your gallbladder removed? That's unusual, did you ever check with the surgeon or doctor to seee what your options are? That's not normal! Let me know okay?

I had my gollbladder out 8 weeks ago, and i am in so much pain like ive never been in before, under right rib and where i was cut in my chest. I cant lift any thing at all with out being left bent double in pain. I have a scan booked for monday 17 jan ,but after reading all your posts i dont expect to get any answers, i have been on so many pain killer its unreal. But atless i no iam not the only one now. I have been constipated and have had diarrhea since op i wish i hadent had it done now, iam worse off now than i was before.
Hi,
I am a new person to join the group who got operated on Gallbladder. I was identified with stones in gallbladder when I was carrying my kid in 2008. I ignored it and recently my enzyme tests showed high. still, I ignored, but, last week I had an attack, a major attack like heartattack. I went to ER and they diagnosed me withe Gallbladder stones and contracted gallbladder. On checking with different medicos, I got the suggestion to get operated immediately. One thing I was told is that the effects after operation are less compared to the gallbladder bursting and going through the related issues like infection to internal organs, etc.
I got operated on Wed and I started eating food in small amounts, solids twice and liquids like soup/broth etc more than 4 times a day. Constipation has gone away after a day, no deiarrhea as I am not taking in fatty food or greasy food. But, I started getting refluxes and muscle pain on the left side near to heart, and pain on the back side. I guess its got to do with Gastric problem, with acid refluxes high.
I know am still new to this situation and my body needs to get adjusted to function without the organ. Just thought of sharing my feelings here.
One thing for sure is that we cannot eat food like earlier, and need to be careful with fatty food, food with high cholestrol and also greasy food. But, being a bit careful, I feel we can maintain a good health, though the pain is something that would not go away for a long time.
many of my family friends and doctors suggested that eating food carefully, and doing regular exercise, will help us in staying fit for most of the time. An organ lost is an organ lost and there would be some differences, cos, nothing else can replace its function. Let me see how far I can do the suggestions, cos, its easy to say, but, our routines and work pressures make a major difference in our lifestyle.
Something that I learnt from personal experience is that when we get pain in body, doing breathing exercise will help it in circulating the oxygen more. and Yoga can help us. And less the medicines, better the body. I normally dont do medicines, and hence any medicine will show its effect on me immediately. I stop taking medicines if my pain is below 6 on a scale of 1 to 10, its not comfortable, but better than going thru other problems that come with medicines.
And may be chiropractic can help us in getting rid of back pain or shoulder pains. I am thinking to try that also.

Has anyone been to the Mayo Clinic about this
I've had this pain too. Been to the emergency room the first and second time. They gave me morphine also. I had a colonoscopy and blood work. The doctors were not able to find anything wrong with me. I followed up with several physicians and not one was able to tell me or give me an idea of what is wrong with me. The pain persists and I don't go to the doctor any more for it. Last episode I had I found out that just walking makes the pain better, don't lay down even if the pain seems to be going away, it will come back, so just walk. It might make you vomit, I think because of the pain, but it will go away after about 20 or 30 minutes. Let me know if anybody said they had been to the Mayo Clinic. I'm concerned about liver ca. ==
MY PAIN: Under my right rib cage, follows through up under my right breast, round under my arm (can't wear bra as causes pain to get worse), goes round into my back. TREMENDOUS PAIN. still there with pain killers.
Hi guys,
i just wanted to Post an UPDATE on my situation, as when all this first happened to me i struggled to find information. I found people with same problem on sites like this, but no one ever updated on their progress so i want to do this for the future people who might indure this horrible problem.
It has now been almost 2 years since my gall bladder op which caused the pain.
About 6 months in i had some localised Steroid injections which prooved helpful and got me off my back.
I have also since had some electro currents put through my nerves T5 through to T12, had this done 3 times but no success so we have moved on from this.
today we went about to distinguish which nerve exactly is causing the pain. My pain is under my right rib cage and goes round up under my boob, under my arm around to back. Pain is horrendous. on ongoing pain killers which some what help, but still can't live a normal life of any activity (tramadol sr 200mg, lyrica 300mg, norspan patch 20mg).
My pain specialist has done a few nerve blocks with just a local anaesethic today to try and figure out exactly which nerves are causing my pain.
We have got it down to T7 & T8.
I know, you would have different nerve numbers involved but just wanted to let you know where i am at with treatment. I have 4 options from here.
1.Spinal Cord Stimulator - not real keen on this idea as don't want them touching my spine, and also as you will feel the constant vibration of the device. Plus not keen on the implanted box.
2.Peripheral Neuro Stimulator - same implanted box, but wired into the actual nerves under my rib cage rather than into spine.
3. Thermal Neorotom (nerve burn), basically burning off the nerves involved, will result in numb area, they will grow back within the year. risk of pain being worse of return, but process can be repeated.
4. Phenol Asletion (chemical), bacically same as nerve burn above but the chemical liquid is pump into nerve instead, kills off nerve in same way, will result in numb area, but hey better than pain!! and nerve can grow back etc as per nerve burn.
At this stage i have option 4 booked in. There is no reason why it should not work now we know the nerve causing the pain.
Will continue to update when i can.
If anybody want further details please message me and i can even give you my pain specialists details. I am in Cairns, Australia.

Same pain issue here, had gall bladder removed and mrcp. Gall bladder was full of stones and sludge, and I had 5 or 6 of stones up in my liver, totally closing off the main duct, so my liver enzymes were bad. I thought the surgery and mrcp would solve all of this. I did not even know I had a gall bladder issue. One day, I was just minding my own business, and suddenly felt like I was shot. The pain was just awful. Now I have episodes of pain on right side under ribs (nowhere near the level as before, but irritating and significant enough). Wow, my MD's won't give me anything for pain, so I have to tough it out or take my husbands pain killers (he does not need them anymore - so I'm grateful we had the supply for family emergencies). I don't even think these pills really help me, they just make me feel better in general. I think I now understand why some people get hooked on these things, but it is a help when you have real pain. I had the surgery on June 14th, (this year). Glad to know I'm not the only one here with this problem. I have been trying to get help from the surgeon, but I think I need to talk to the Gastro. I keep thinking it is "muscular" but I know it is my trying to just ignore the problem. I'm fit 50, weigh 120 am 5'3'' I used to do about 50 pushups a day, used to do pull ups, so I've got strong abs and arms for a female. (Portuguese farmer genetics) I read somewhere that Calcium is bad for us, it leaches out Magnesium, and then the stones form. My potassium levels were really low, and I've cut way back on the Calcium. It helps to take Magnesium, my digestion works better and I feel slightly better. Anyways, thanks for reading my rant. I'll call the Gastro now, and get checked up.
Did you ever find anything out? I too have fibro and CFS but feel that they are unrelated to this. What do they say about your pancreas??
I am going on around 3 years with these pains you all describe, the best I can do for ya'll is tell ya to BREATHE!!!!!
i found that if i inhale and stretch out my torso and hold for a sec or 2, then exhale slowly keeping my whole upper body still helps for a quick fix.
Good luck guys/girls.
Hi, too have the same pain you describe after my gall bladder surgery and I am almost 4 weeks post op. I too have fibro myalgia.
