What Causes Swelling All Over Body With History Of Gallbladder Surgery?

I had gallbladder surgery seven years ago and sense them I ve been experiencing squeezing sensations, along with swelling all over my body) in my upper abdomen as well as tingling in my arms and legs. Even the bottoms of my feet hurt. I ve been to different doctors to see what these annoying symptoms are with no results. I ve started drinking and eating foods that are good for inflammation but they only work a little. Any suggestions?

Hello,
1) Your symptom of tingling in arms and legs, burning type pain in feet are suggestive of neurological pain.
2) Neurological pain has no any association with history of gall bladder surgery.
3) Common causes for neurological pain are diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, nerve compression
4) You should start evaluation with basic laboratory tests for diabetes and vitamin level in blood and start treatment accordingly. In presence of negative result of these tests, you should consult neurologist to rule out nerve compression or any nerve associated disorders.
