What Could The Numb Area Under The Ribs After Gall Bladder Removal Be?
I have a numb area under my ribs since I had a baby two years ago. Then I had my gallbladder out and it got worse . If anything touches that area it drives me crazy, can't even wear a bra sometimes. If I push on it, or feels better. Feels like my abdomen is always full unless I push on that spot

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
During the surgery we usually cut some nerves in abdominal wall and this may lead to numbness and pain occasionaly. However it should be better after several months post surgery. If not, you should do tess to rule out some other disorders such as neuropathy or intraabdominal issues.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
