thank you for posting query.
presentation of post cholecystectomy pain.
differential: surgical incision pain, fat intolerance or stone remnants in common bile duct.
ultrasound abdomen maybe done to rule out stones in common bile duct and to see the tissue underlying incision .
advice:
- take pantoprazole 40mg once daily before breakfast (for the rest of your life)
- also get a complete blood cell count(CBC) test
- avoid OILY food and FAT diet altogether
- avoid eating stomach full and mouth full
- avoid spicy food
wish you good health.
