Gallbladder Removed 7 Months Ago, Still Swollen And Having Pain
7 months ago, I had to have my gallbladder romoved. (long Cut, full of gallstones, and gangene). I still have some swelling and pain. I can t put preasure (touch, carry and item) on my right side nor can I sleep on that side. The area where the drain tube was put, is also purple around it. Do I need to be worried?

From the above complaints, it looks like ur surgery wound is still undergoing evolution. However posiblity of infection cannot be ruled out (form above symptoms at least it does'nt look like u have infection). the pain looks like muscular and may require some more time to feel better.
