I had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy two weeks ago after going to the emergency room with extreme abdominal pain. My gallbladder was full of stones, infected and inflamed. The doctor said he had to make the main incision twice as large as normal and also had to, if I remember correctly, "flush out my chest cavity". My recovery was very rapid but after about five or six days I've noticed the minor pain in my right side when taking deep breaths, burping or yawning (which I seem to be doing very frequently) hasn't improved in a week. Also the pain in my right shoulder which had nearly disappeared has returned and becomes much more intense if I try to sleep on my right side. Is this normal? I have no other PCS symptoms.
