Hi,
Small biliary leaks can result in persisting pain abdomen following gall bladder surgey. however, it would have been found out in the search they made.
The pain you are experiencing when every thing is normal may be a referred neuralgia. This is not an uncommon problem, but is generally ignored by many due to its mild and intermittent nature.
you may try Gabapentin or Amytryptiline, after consulting your doctor.
Hope this helps.
