Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Lupus / December 2006Gall Bladder Surgery Complications?
Just over a month ago I had my Gall Bladder removed....I had stones that were starting to move about and were causing me constant pain. Following the operation I felt much better and I thought I was making a fantastic recovery. I had relatively no pain, just felt tired easier than normal. At time went by i go t stronger and stronger. Two weeks and go i went on a roundtrip coast to coast. Since then I have had a lot of pain in the area my gall bladder was located. My stomach on that side is sore when pressure i applied. I visited surgeon and I was sent for scans. So far they have not identified the cause. Generally I look fit, I dont have any other symptoms...I'm just in a lot of pain.....any ideas what this could be? Can anyone recommend an effective pain killer I can buy at the drug store? I had gallbladder surgery 2 years ago. I was in the hospital for several days due to a GI problem caused by a lupus flare. My doctor told me that people who have had gallbaldder surgery often experience problems with gas. could it be gas building up in that point of your intestiions? I know I never had that much gas before, now I do all the time. I can't control it most of the time, it's just like a 80 year old man, I fart as I walk. oh well what the hell!!!!!!!! A over the counter pain pill, that would be your run of the mill things such as Tylenol, advil, etc. I don't think they would do much for you. Maybe if your pain is bad eneough you should see a pain doctor. But I don't know what they would do if they can't find the problem in a film somewhere. Now my pain doctor has labled me as "Intractable Pain" which many won't do, but it has helped me. But I have pain from head to toe.

Thanks for your thoughts Vance....I dont think its a Gas build up...As my wife would tell I dont have a problem getting rid of it....Not as much now as I had at first. She would be delighted to agree with! Its a sharp pain that I only get when I start moving about. It stays with me all day. When I wake up in the morning its gone, then after a couple of hours moving aromud etc....It starts to hurt again. Its driving me mad!! >I had gallbladder surgery 2 years ago.

You know you could have abdominal adheasions. Happens a good bit. My doctor said he saw some on me when he repaired a hernia in my upper stomach, just right below my chest in the center. My GI system shut down after that surgery also. I vomited for 10 days. couldn't hold anything down, not even water. I had IV's going full blast.

The pain is where the Gall bladder was...maybe your on to something. I am due to speak to the Surgeon on Monday....more test results will be back then.

If so he should have color photos that they take in your medical records. That could very well lead you to something if you see adheasions in the photos.
