Hi
It may not be related to the gall bladder removal as that wä a good few months ago.
I would try not to worry too much and just see Gp as soon as. However if the pain gets unbearable is their an out of hours clinic you could visit?
Good luck let us know how you get on x

Hi, Stef,
You might be forming scar tissue as you heal. Some of us still have "twinges" from time to time. One thing I noticed is I have more of them if I spend a lot of the day sitting, so I try to get out and walk as much as I can.
But do go see your doctor. It woul help us if you got back to us and posted what he or she said.
Thanks! And, Happy New Year!

Glad to hear someone else is having this pain.I had my gallstone removed Aug 2,16 and started getting this after sitting several hours at work. I just went to my
primary doctor last week and explainging to him exactly lower left side ribs he said not to worry nothing is there.
Possible muscle tention but nothing could be there to cause worry.
And I have notice since I have been on vacation for an entire week since surgery no long sitting and no pain this week.
Hope this information helps.
Hope you feel better.

Could be pancreatic, since the two organs are attached. This is what I think I'm going through. Just had my gallbladder removed last night. When the doctor gets in, I'm going to ask him about this, because the left side hurts worse than the right side with the gallbladder surgery being performed.

Four years post op and ended up in ER yesterday. Extreme spasms in stomach, tightness in stomach, vomiting, diarrhea, nausea and pain in upper stomach. Yet again nothing wrong see your primary care doctor. I'm so tired of this and them just brushing it off. Regret taking out my Gallbladder!
