your post gallbladder removal pain could be gas!!
I just had my gallbladder removed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy 5 days ago. It hurt like crazy to breathe. i felt pins and needles stabbing me in the ribs and sides with each breath. I tossed and turned in bed sleepless, then started walking and squatting. Slowly through burps and farts, I got rid of the gas injected during surgery. It has a yucky smell.
After 2-3 days of suffering I feel completely better, no gas from surgery (though theres a bit of new gas from eating). no pain in breathing. Constant stretching, rubbing my back, squatting, exerting trying to fart, and lying on different positions really got rid of gas. Able to sleep and eat small portions. pooping 3 times a day.
I saw on youtube also that activated charcoal tablets help relieve gas.
i pray this helps someone. blessings in Jesus name.
