Terrible pain when sneezing

Posted by da69 @da69, 18 hours ago

Had gallbladder surgery late Nov and everything seemed t be fine but for the last 3 weeks have had a pain lower right abdomen that wraps around to back.....Not sure if related to gallbladder.....The pain is mild until i cough or sneeze.....Sneezing is the worst.
Today i sneezed and the pain was so bad my legs buckled and now it hurts terrible with sitting and standing being the worst.
Could i have torn a stomach muscle not full healed from surgery?
Any idea's?
Thank you

@d69 This kind of pain should be brought directly to your doctors. Gall bladder pain, including after surgery, is typically mid-line near the sternum, and this is where the incisions are that need to heal.

Surgery was Nov 22nd,,,,Its right at bottom of rib cage on right side....It now hurts to the touch.
I completely healed from gallbladder surgery?....Or maybe i didn't but the pain started about 3 weeks ago.
Got a hold of gallbladder doc and he don't think its related.....Looking like a ER trip which i hate.
I am med sensitive on painkillers and every time they try a different med marked do not give on my chart, I have bad reactions.
Morphine was the last when i had the gallstones....It closed my airway and needed epinephrine.
Needless to say i have ER anxiety so fingers crossed.
Thank you
