Severe Pain After Gallbladder Removal. E-ray Showed Surgical Clips In The Area. Is The Pain Due To These Clips?

I had my gallbladder removed in 2003. I have been having a lot of pain in that area pretty much ever since. I am told that there is no reason for this pain but what can I tell you, I know if I have pain or not. So I saw through an e-ray once that there are surgical clips in that area. Could these clips be causing me this pain?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The pain may not be due to the clips, you can try some antispasmodic drug and I think you will get good result, Dicyclomine is the drug of choice along with acetaminophen try it, if it does not helped then it has to be investigated but I am sure it will come around with this have nice day.

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

No surgical clips never causes any problem.
There may be other reasons for pain and it need investigations.
You need proper examination by surgeon.
You need investigations like routine hemogram,RBS,LFT and ultrasound of abdomen. Further investigations depends upon clinical findings and investigation reports.
Get well soon.

Take Care
