How To Treat Pain And Nausea After Retrieval Of Gall Bladder?

I had my gallbladder out on June 30th of this year, I still have the same pain from right under my rib cage to my hip area over to my belly button, along with feeling nauesea. I had a ultrasound done a couple days ago and they found a cyst that they say is a simple cyst. Will this cause the pain that I m having or should my Dr be looking for something else going on? I m tired of hurting please help me in the right direction.

hi.

noted history of cholecystectomy, current experience of abdominal pain and cystic findings on ultrasound. may i ask where specifically is the cyst located? is it in the liver area? post-operative pain/discomfort usually occurs, even after several years of surgery, but the pain is tolerable and spontaneously resolving. if your symptom is persistent and getting more frequent, it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. it may be coming from the cyst if it is located in your liver (especially if it is increasing in size). diagnostics (such as ct-scan, tumor markers, liver function tests, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly.

hope this helps.

good day!!
