very scared and need some hope please

Hello again everyone

So sorry for another post so soon but I'm really struggling.

Had my GB removed just over 5 weeks ago due to gallstone pancreatitis. Been suffering constantly with terrible back and chest pain and the occasional dreaded "gallbladder attack" after food (even though my diet is non fat??)

Been back to hospital and to my GP this week and after repeatedblood tests, xrays and an ultrasound everything has come back normal. My pancreas levels are normal and no sign of stones in the bile duct etc.

The pain gets worse whenever I put weight on it to sit back or lay down, its dreadful to manage.

The pain relief and omeprazole I was given are not helping much if at all and I just don't know what to do next?

Is there anyone who had a similar experience and just got better with a bit more time? I was expecting soreness and aches after surgery but not original pain like this. Is it normal?

Very worried that this pain is not ever going to get better. Sorry for being so negative really could use some hope today.

Thanks to anyone kind enough to reply. I really appreciate you

Sounds to me like you are still suffering from pancreatitis. I would ask for a second opinion.

Hi, it took me nearly a year after removal of GB to be pain free, I thought I would have the op and the pain would go, but no it took ages.
