Gall Bladder Removed. Having Pain Between The Rib. What Can Be Done?
I had my gallbladder removed 3 weeks ago which the doctor told me it was diseased. I was feeling ok until last week. I am having pain between rib cage, then pinching pain on right side up through the breast cavity and then to right shoulder. When having this pain it comes and goes and if I move my head to the left I will get pinching between breast area.

Hi, it appears to be the gastric pain due to the gastric irritation, or peptic ulcer may be due to the post operative anxiety, or irritant foods or drugs. I advise you to consult a gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatment.
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe omeprazole, domperidone, and antacid gel. Thank you.
