Hi, I jaded my gallbladder removed 3 weeks ago, I had stones and it was also quite infected. However, Im still having a lot of pain in the exact same spot and cant even breathe properly because it hurts too much when I take deep breaths. The pain goes into my right shoulder blade and is quite sharp. I have A Vascular Necrosis in my left hip so because of that I take 50mg of methadone and 20mg of statex when needed, and that isnt even helping with the pain! Plz help .....
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Gall stones cause inflammation of the gall bladder. Inflammation of the gall bladder is called cholecystitis. The inflamed gall bladder with stones has been surgically removed in your case. Pain which increases with deep breathing is usually associated with pleural involvement. The pain radiating to the right shoulder blade is seen in cases of acute cholecystitis. However, your gall bladder has already been removed surgically, so this pain could not be due to acute cholecystitis. You need to consult your doctor for clinical examination of the chest and imaging study to look for evidence of any pleural involvement. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
