Hi. About 10 weeks ago I had my gallbladder removed due to a 14mm gallstone that was almost blocking the duct. Since then I have continued to experience pain in the location where the gallbladder was in addition to pain close to where my pancreas and stomach are. My surgeon ordered a CT Scan and Ultra sound that seemed to indicate that everything surgically was a success. With that she wished me the best of luck in feeling better. I don t know what is causing the pain, but it is still radiating from the lower right rib cage around to the center of my back. Any ideas as to what additional questions I should ask my doctor to prompt her to keep looking for a solution? Thank you.
Hello Welcome to Chat Doctor Thanks for posting your query. I understand your concerns. As your gall bladder has been removed already, no need to worry.  Pain radiating from right rib cage to back is called Murphy sign, and it is commonly seen in acute cholecystitis. As your ultrasound and ct reports are normal, no need to worry. When ever you get pain, you should take analgesics like ibuprofen. Thank you
