Suggest Remedy For Pain And Swelling In Finger During Gallbladder Attacks

Hi. I am scheduled for gallbladder surgery on 4 Jan 2016. During my last attack, in addition to pain, my fingers/hands swelled up. I had to freeze my ring finger to get the ring off. My fingers/hands are still swollen. I have dull pain all the time.

Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

As you have undergone the gall bladder surgery this symptoms of swelling and pain is a rare issue for the limbs like the upper limbs and the lower limbs.

It could be due to lack of vitamins and also due to weak metabolism which can be possible due to post surgery status.

You can discuss the same with your Surgeon as in my opinion this should not be connected to the gall bladder surgery.

Also, you can discuss with him if you can perform some general exercises under the physical therapists guidance for making the muscle property maintained for upper limbs as well the lower limbs. Post gall bladder surgery there will be even weakness of the abdominal muscles due to the incision and may need physical therapy
