@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... 🙂

Wow that is so crazy! The surgeon said he couldn't figure out what else to do and that maybe Gabapentin might have to be prescribed but we have to wait until next week to see regular doctor to see what he says. I feel so bad for everyone who is going thru this. It's supposed to get better after gallbladder surgery not worse! Praying yours continues to heal and that my husband can get some sort of relief as well! Thank you for sharing! 🙏
