Unbearable Pain Under Right Rib Cage Even After Removing Gall Bladder. Cause Of Pain?

Hello. I had my gallbladder removed laproscopically eight days ago. Prior to the surgery, I was experiencing intense/unbearable pain under my right rib cage. It was my hope that after the gallbladder was removed, the rib pain would be gone. Unfortunately, I am still experiencing discomfort in that area...more of a burning/tingling type pain. Was the problem my gallbladder or something else?

Hi

Thanks for asking.

There can be many reasons:

Gastroesophageal reflux
Muscular
problems with the thoracic spine with referred pain in the area.
Even just after surgery pain can persist for some time

Please wait for some time, avoid fatty food, have small meals, may be take some antacid tablets.

If still not right, please consult your doctor.

Thanks.
