Pain In Ruq Going Through Back And Shoulder, Extreme Pressure Under Ribcage. History Of Gallbladder Surgery. Have Fibromyalgia, On Medication . Suggest

I had gallbladder surgery 2 years ago, lap procedure. Since I have had intermittent symtoms exactly as before, pain in ruq going straight through to back and shoulder. Extreme pressure like a wadded up sock stuffed under my ribcage on right side. I have fibromyalgia and take tramadol, xanax, lyrica, lexapro which helps keep pain in ruq under control, but ant time I try to cut back on meds, ruq pain is unbearable. Had Ct scan, blood tests 5 months after surgery for this pain. My Pcp doesn't want to deal with it and my surgeon has retired. What do I do, I can't live like this. CT scan and blood tests were perfectly normal.

Hi, it appears that you have gastric irritation, which tend to be there even before along with the gallbladder pain. So it appears to be that residual pain, which is to be treated. So i advise you to consult a gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
