Suggest Treatment For Pain On Back, Abdominal Pain After Gall Bladder Removal

Posted on Tue, 13 Jan 2015

Question: pain in upper right back off and on. no abdominal pain. no pain under breast. had my gallbladder removed 3 years ago. pain seems similar to the gallbladder pain but I did had front soreness and pain when I had gallbladder disease. is there a possibility that there is a stone caught in my biliary duct? never had any problems since surgery 3 years ago. could this just be a pulled muscle. heating pad seems to relieve it some. it's not constant either.

Thank you.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM
I am Dr Rakesh Sharma answering your query.
I can understand your concern.
Your pain seems to be muscular in nature as per your description.
Chances of gall stones are gone with your gall bladder.
As it is relieved by heating pad, it is a sign of some muscular involvement.
You can take ibuprofen with acetaminophen and local application of analgesic anti inflammatory gel.
Posture correction, hard bed, proper comfortable pillow, and proper comfortable mattress play an important role in upper back ache.
