HI,
Even though you had a gallbladder surgery there are chances of common bile duct stones which will cause you similar pain thats the reason your doctor advised for LFT to see any obstruction is there ,if everything is normal try to rule out is there is any muscle spasm if so you can consider to take a muscle relaxant and that will help you.
Or a simple analgesics for few days will help you
