Hi.
The soreness and the muscular strain as you explained in spite of the Gall bladder removal is indicative of a muscular or neurological problem as you have self-explained.
I would advise you the following.
To undergo an MRI of the Thoracic spine and the chest wall to find out the probable reason and get treated accordingly.
It is possible that you have a disc compressing upon the spinal cord.
I find this answer helpful
