Have Had Gallbladder Out And Have Burning Pain There With Pain At End Of Ribcage. Cause For Pain?

I have had my gallbladder out but have frequent burning pain where it used to be. Nothing triggers it. It can wake me up at night or come randomly during the day, no pattern. It's not severe, just painful and annoying. I also have pain on my right side at the end of my rib cage and it is tender to touch. Pain is achy feeling. Both usually happen at the same time or alternate. What could be going on?

Hi Dear
Welcome to the Health Care Magic

Dear friend because you have under gone chloistectomy. Removal of the tissue from the liver bed has left some scar inside your body.
Previously it was smooth, now a cavity and rough area is created which is now gradually healing with fibrosis causes all these type of symptoms.

Nothing much to worry, gradually with due course of time you will forget the symptoms.

Even if still it is bothering you much, you can under go ultra sound scan of the upper abdomen to rule out any abnormality.

Hope your query is answered
Thanks
