What Could Be The Abdominal Pain After Knee Replacement?

I am a 38 yr old male. I had my left knee replaced in May 2013. Approx 2-3 weeks post op I had severe abdominal pain upper left side below ribs. 2 episodes in 2 days....this occured again in September and again in December and now the pain is less (mild-moderate) but constant. Ultrasounds, CT-scan w/contrast, and MRI came back normal. I was told I have some small gall stones but the pain I have is on the wrong side? Really want to know what is wrong with me.

Hi
You need upper endoscopy and colonoscopy to check for a peptic ulcer or for diverticulitis, either of which could cause your symptoms
