What Causes Severe Pain In The Shoulder Blade After Gallbladder Removal?
I had gallbladder removed last week - 8 days ago. No stones, just very inflamed. I don t see my doctor until Friday, he is out of town. Is it common to have some pain in the same area as I did before the surgery (right rib and right shoulder blade)? I ate an egg salad sandwich and some chips last night and it hit me hard. Today, no rib pain but the shoulder blade area stil hurts a bit.
You can get pain after few days surgery (due to surgical incision/ intervention there). You should continue prescribe analgesic and antibiotic for few more days. Another possibility is another pathology at shoulder blade which is not diagnosed or treatment shought
