What Causes Air Bubbles In The Shoulder Post Gall Bladder Surgery?
hi I had a gallbladder removal surgery 3 yrs ago and when I woke up from surgery I had really bad pain on my right shoulder doctor said it was an air bubble in the shoulder that it should go away soon but its been 3 yrs and its a big problem for work and daily activites since it hurts my whole arm how can I get rid of it?
It could be a different entity and totally unrelated from your gallbladder surgery-- most likely NOT an air bubble, especially its been 3 yrs post op. I suggest you get an X-ray of your shoulder and consult an orthopedic surgeon.
