What Causes Pain Around The Gallbladder Removal Site?
I had my gallbladder removed 6.5 yrs ago. Occasionally I have had pain were my gallbladder used to be. I am having this pain with a squeezing or pulsing feeling daily lately. It causes nausea and leads to watery, oily diarrhea. Immediately after my gallbladder removal, I had an ERCP, due to stones in my bile duct. I am wondering if I am dealing with a pancreas issue at this point
I have gone through your query and I really appreciate your concern about the problem you are facing. As a physician, I would like to tell you that you should udergo a CT abdomen to determine the exact cause of your pain and rule out other things. You can also take Omeprazole course if there is no any other pathology apparent on CT that is increasing your symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Abhijeet
