General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history Umbilical hernia containing fat as per the CT scan, pain on the right side under the rib cage, inflamed stomach on CT , on liquids for that now, wants to know whether related to colon or not, 18 inch colon removed in 2000, gall bladder in 2002, Right inguinal hernia in 2004 Cyst in cervix in 2004 and two attacks of pancreatitis ...
All this complicated history with multiple studies and pancreatitis in past indicate that the pain may be related to the surgeries in the past giving intestinal obstruction. Removal of the colon give deficiencies of multivitamins and hence you need a proper investigation related to the vitamins and replacement as per the reports.
Also needed may be surgery for umbilical hernia if symptomatic or if the neck is small.
Pain under the right rib cage may be related to the costochondritis one gets or myalgia or of nerve root complication.
