Severe pain continues after gall bladder removal !

I'm so sorry to hear your not feeling good after removal of your gallbladder.
Mine was removed almost 2 yrs ago and that happened to me.
I continued to pursue other doctors and mine turned out to be MALS. Median Arcuate Ligament Syntrom.
Do you have pain when you eat, drink, exercise? Or Diaherra and Constipation. My pain is in the sternum area and radiates left and right.
If you have any symptoms you might research this. Theres a Facebook page called MALS. It is very rare and very difficult to detect. I've already had a Median Arcuate Ligament Release surgery last year that failed, and having another surgery with a more experienced doctor in a few weeks. This is a complex Syntrom and mostly a process of elimination to find the answer .
It is usually diagnosed with a CTA Angiogram, Mesenteric Doppler Ultrasound and a Celiac Plexus Block.
Good Luck! You need to be your own Advocate. Feel Better..

Thank you so very much for sending on this information !
I have been researching MALS and the information from the Mayo Clinic is so helpful. Just the fact that they use a collaborative approach with doctors who are specialists in different areas is brilliant. I have been going from one doctor to another without any answers. If they were collaborating and sharing their expertise they might figure out what is wrong. I wish I could find an institution in Chicago that is using the same approach to diagnosis. Thank you.

Hi- I had Mals surgery 4 years ago. I had the same symptoms. They first took out my gall bladder then the same pain happened again. It was amazing to wake up from surgery not having the mals pain.
