Hi,
Back pain is not related to gallbladder surgery and it can be due to something else probably due to spine related problems as disc prolapse. You can take analgesics like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms are persistent, you can consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
