My sister had her gallbladder removed on Wednesday, and is still in seere pain in right shoulder and under her right rib cage. the doctor put her back in hospital and did more tests but then said everything was normal and sent her home. What should she do?  She des have a diagnosis of fibromlagia.
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for the query. Pain in shoulder and under rib is expected and commonly seen due to pneumoperitoneum which is done during laparoscopy. It should be treated by standard painkillers and there is no other specific cure. IT may persist up to 2 weeks sometimes. If there is constant abdominal pain or jaundice and fever then you should visit doctor. Wish you good health. Regards
