Severe pain three weeks after Gallbladder Surgery

There is something very wrong with this pain I’m feeling after surgery!

Everything else has calmed down, but this pain is crazy!

It is a burning, raw, intense pain inside my right side abdomen. It wavers in intensity.

This morning it woke me up and I feels like I am being burnt with acid or fire in one spot.

I already saw the post-op Dr. last week and he blew it off? He said it must be pain I had prior to surgery- only that pain was from my gallbladder and felt different in nature. 

Has Anyone felt this?! It’s unbearable, something is definitely not right.

Hiya

I just posted on another conversation, I am 4 weeks post surgery and have just back from seeing the surgeon, I asked him why I still had pain where my GB was and right round my right side, he explained that there is a nerve near the portal to the liver and this gets agrivated during surgery, it will settle down in time.

I do hope this may help.

Oh wow, I hope so! Thank you. Did your pain feel similar to what I describe? I’m in such agony. The gallbladder pain was nothing compared to this!

Yes! Kate the pain has been extremely bad for the last week, much worse than the original gallbladder, at least I have got an answer now I hope!! He did stress however that if I develop fever, high temperature, vomiting to call him.

All the best
