I had gall bladder removed two years ago and I continue to have pain on right side under rib Last night it hurt even to bend to pick up things. I m not sure if food isn t digesting properly causing inflammation? I took aleve and it helped a little. Worried
Hi, thank you for posting your query in Chat Doctor. I understand your problem. Usually pain under ribs occur due to indigestion of food, especially fatty foods, due to straining of the muscles. After gall bladder removal, there is likely chance of developing infection in the liver, this can also cause pain under ribs. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
