Gallbladder is gone so where is this pain from?

Hi

I had gb removed one year ago I have suffered with acheing under my right side bottom ribs and pain when yawning and involantry breathing  I saw my surgeon in april told him of my problems had mri scan showing nothing only small colection of fluid which he said would go by itself I have again been back to my doctors with the same problems and she thinks that it is damage to my nerve in that area I also have found a hernia in my belly button where I had key hole surgery which now means another operation.

Hey everyone,

I got my gallbladder removed about 5 yrs ago and a very months after the surgery, I started getting the same pain in the same place (upper abdommen and back). The pain comes and goes randomly but when I went to the doctor about a yr after the sugery, they couldn't find anything. They just gave antacid to deal with the diarrhea but it did  nothing for the pain.

Glad to know I'm not the only one with this problem. Does anyone have any ideas about whats wrong?

I  had the CT and nothing.  It is so infrequent I hate to complain about it, but when it sidelines for hours at a time, it is a royal pain in the patootie!

Hi so glad I noticed this post lol ...18 yes 18 YEARS ago I had my gallbladder removed and I still get this unwanted ache/pain to this day . Starts in the middle of my chest, like a knot , moves round under neath by rib cage and Into my back.  For years I havebeen to the doctors and got given omprezaloe everytime , this is not what I need, what I need is for it to be investigated but I get told that it's nothing to do with my go as its gone and get treated like I'm over reacting , so i suffered all through my pregnancy with the g,stones and had my g.bladder removed 5 hrs after a emergency c.section , I have often wondered if it was actually my gallbladder

It still is just as bad when I get the (I call em attacks). I can pin point wht sets it off ie shock, and lack of sleep also certain paracetamol , it's hard when the kids try and hide to make you jump lol as that also sets it off, I often wonder if it's something else but down to how it starts and the symptoms I get including having to hyperventilate to try control it is the exact same as when I had my gallbladder attacks only yesterday did I have my last one .

Totally understand Happy. This morning my "odd right side pain" was kicking so I had to take a sick day. I am scheduled for an endoscopy in March, hoping they find something, although I doubt they will. I want my GB back

This is really interesting. I had a lap Chloe in July & am now experiencing the right sided ache which goes to my back & under my shoulder blade.

has anyone ever had a reason for this or is it just a case of making do?  I really hope it isn't, I don't have time for this.

Hey everybody! I just happened to stumble upon this discussion, and I seem to be in the same position. Sadly I am at a point where we are just "managing my symptoms". Meaning they are throwing pain meds at me. However, I have refused to take them and am hoping that my doctor will find an answer! So far he has done an EGD and given me some Nexium (which isn't helping). So at this point I am at a loss as to what to do. I had my gallbladder removed in 2011, so 4 years now and have been dealing with the pain ever since. I have changed my eating habits, and that also did not help. This pain is sometimes so intense that it hurts to move, and it causes me to throw up. Sometimes the pain will last a day or a week. But I have no warning before it hits. But it's pain and nasuea in the URQ under my ribs. It's awful! I'm so glad to hear that I am not the only out there with this pain. 

I have the same pain, and have had relief by taking magnesium, not in large quantities, but it is a muscle relaxant and I think that's why it helps.
