Post-cholecystectomy or gallbladder removal surgery

Hi Barbara, all the scans and tests came back normal. The ER doctor can't seem to figure it out so he set up an appointment with a surgeon to see what they say. It's so weird that his abdominal pain hasn't gotten any better and got worse. His whole upper right quadrant is swelled up so much as well. So it's just weird what's going on with him. They couldn't find a reason for it. Thank you so much for asking it has definitely been a journey for us. I just keep praying over him every day and ask God for a miracle!

@blbenson91 that is exactly what happened with me. All my tests were fine - EGD, Ultrasounds of liver and former gallbladder area, etc. My GI doctor told me he thought the pain was due to visceral hypersensitivity, which is more common if you also have IBS (which I do). Those nerves just have to have a little time to settle down. He prescribed Gabapentin 200 mg at bedtime for me and it has helped me sleep again, despite the pain. Plus, pain is settling down a bit now anyway. Hope your husband has a similar trajectory! The things they don't tell you before a surgery... 🙂
