Hi, I Had My Gallbladder Removed Almost 3 Months Ago.

Hi, I had my gallbladder removed almost 3 months ago. Ever since I have been experiencing pain, it started around the area of where my gallbladder was and now the pain has worked its way down to the area of my belly button and to the right of it. I was in emerge twice, the first time my white blood cell count was higher than normal but they didn't look further into it. The second time which was a few days later I had a CT scan done and that came back normal. I have been to my family doctor many times he always says I'm fine and sends me home. The surgery I had was laparoscopic, I have gone back to see my surgeon she said everything is fine. I am trying to figure out what is causing the pain since I should not be in any. I'm also finding it hard to work, my job is labour intensive but my doctor won't give me restrictions to make it easier for me. I am wondering now if I have developed appendicitis from this. I even have trouble sleeping on my left side, right side and even my back. The pain on my lower right abdomen wakes me at night. Does this sound like appendicitis? If so, what should I do in a situation where my family doctor won't listen to me?
