Hi I had my gallbladder removed 2 weeks ago and I am experiencing sharp to dull pains everyday for the last three days. Has anyone else experienced this?

I had mine move about the same time as yours and I have been fine no pain etc. You may have a stone left in but it common to have these pain after. try watching your diet but contact your PCP and make a follow

Hi 

it's difficult to say as pain is relative.. If you had a stone left in your bile duct I think you would be in agony ...vomiting etc..

you must remember you have internal stitches your gallbladder has been removed and you are healing . It takes 6 weeks to heal internally your abdominal muscles will take about 3 months to gain their strength again..

try not to use your abdominal muscles for 6 weeks ..I was told not to drive but I swept the floor a week after my op and had pains and aches and felt rough for a few days. So try not to worry. Be careful . And if you get agony ring an ambulance ...

Yes i experienced this and 12 months on i still am. I hope yours settles down

Yes..............could be some residual grip in duct area which I understand is not unusual and which can resolve itself. You need to revisit your surgeon for consultation.

I was told by the surgeon that I may still have pain like I did before the op. Give it a few more days and if it persists consult your doctor.
