Post-cholecystectomy or gallbladder removal surgery

I also am having back pain directly after eating any food, in addition to back pain when I am pretty much abstaining for almost a whole day. The pain is unusual as it's not from a sprain or injury, and radiates all across the upper back around my waist. On some nights, my back pain is worse. I have, no whole life been a very healthy person. In 1974 I was rendered unconscious and jaundiced, doctors had thought it was acid reflux and prescribed antacids - for weeks. I was found on the floor by a family member.
With emergency surgery, the gallbladder had literally rotted when they found it.

in 2025 now, I have been experiencing the pain daily. I try several things to ease it, not much success. Drinking alot of water, abstaining from food (of course no fatty foods) hot compresses, rubbing the area a bit. This condition did not appear until a few years ago I have since gained 20 lbs because of inactivity due to the pain, although I still eat lightly.

Hi, @dia45 - the back pain directly after eating sounds intense. It makes sense, but I'm sorry that you have gained weight because of inactivity due to the pain.

Glad you got the gallbladder removed and that is no longer an issue.

What does your doctor think is causing your back pain, dia45?
