<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.A little over a year ago i had my gallbladder taken out it was sudden and very painful but since then i have had pain in my right lower quadrant pain, I am an alcoholic and I quit drinking for four months to see if that took care of the pain but it didnt the pain is sensitive to the touch and a dull ache and when i bend a certain way it feels like it is pinching or tearing something. I use Ibuprofen for the pain and tylenol but nothing seems to help. Can you tell me anything about what might be going on?  <response>: Hi.noted history of cholecystectomy and occurrence of right lower qua Chat Doctor. It may be a radiating post-operative pain, but other causes such as muscular strain, infection diverticulitis, obstruction possibly new lesions, appendicitis, ileitis must also be ruled-out. It is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Diagnostics such as ultrasound, ct-scan, blood counts, etc. and management medical andor surgical if indications are found will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!
