History Of Gall Bladder Removal. Have Pain Under Rib Cage. Reason?

I had my gall bladder removed 37 years ago I have been having this cramp spasm pain on my high right side under my rib cage that goes through to my back .When this pain is happening I cannot operate and need pain killers to rid it . I cannot go on like this for the rest of my life . Do you think it could be the tube left that was attached to my gall bladder

Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.

It is practically impossible to point out a cause for your pain without proper physical examination and a detailed case study.

Propably, the pain could be originating due to a Hepatic (liver) pathology which is anatomically located in that area.

An ultrasound scan of abdomen will generally detect simple lesions, if not an MRI scan is needed.

I suggest you to consult a general surgeon for further workup and management.

Hope this information is helpful. Good day
