@jenn36 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, a place to give and get support.
You are 9 weeks out of gallbladder surgery and still experiencing symptoms.
@johnetteg @jenn36 have either of you researched phantom pain after gallbladder surgery, as @mpsteed mentions? I think it's a pretty common occurrence.
@mpsteed You are three years out from your surgery and still having phantom pains but gabapentin works? Is the pain now manageable?

After 3 yrs of every test known. I came to the conclusion a nerve was knicked during my gallbladder surgery. I am still numb from under left breast to spine . The stabbing burning, spasming, finally eased up. I started gabapentin about 6 months ago and that definitely worked. I have never been so disappointed in the healthcare system. Let me know if you have any questions!
