I had laproscopic gall bladder surgery over two years ago.  There was constant pain under my right rib.  I went to PT and when she touched the area there was a big pop.  I thought there may have been some attachment to the rib.  However today I still feel light pain in that area.  If I move in the wrong way, the pain is sharp.  Doctor couldnt find anything, but something isnt right.
Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor.  Forum. If I were your treating doctor for this case of severe pain on the right rib area, I would come up with 3 possibilities, This includes,1 The first possibility is of liver enlargement or infection in liver. Can be confirmed by ultrasound of liver. Consult a physician and get his opinion. 2 Since pain is from last two years, so may be due to thickened pleura or fluid in pleura, so for this get in a X-ray of chest. Physician will examine it, if disease present get s treatment. 3 Disease in the inter coastal ribs or space, again physician will find out exact reason after physical examination. Since 2 years back, you were operated for gallbladder surgery so most probable cause may be liver involvement. Physician will help. Good luck.
