Severe pain right side at the bottom of my rib cage



Recommended Posts

I have had pain for 24 hours sharp, was worse when I moved around..right side underneath my bottom rib. talked with the nurse said maybe Constipation. Took care of that, I don't think that was it. Today I'm sore with sharp pain, but improved. Same spot? I woke up Friday morning with this pain, was fine when I went to bed. I did clean out my closet and moved a lot on Thursday. Anyone else had this happen?

Sometimes it is gall bladder related. More often the not it is incision pain from torn muscles. I had the same thing, but it eventually went sway after a couple weeks. Keep an eye on it.

Do you still have your gallbladder? Could really be a lot of things. If it persists.... Please see your doctor. Best wishes!!!

The only pain I can remember on my right side near the rib cage was gall bladder problems. I think that is quite common after VSG. If you dont start to feeling better go get checked out. Hope you feel better soon!

Thank you very much, its better today, but if it continues I will check in with the doctor on Monday. I had my gallbladder removed several years ago. I thinking (hoping) maybe a pulled muscle?

I had a severe burning sensation bear one of my incisions. Oh my goodness. It hurt so bad. I had a week post op appointment to follow up with my doc the next day, thankfully. She thought I might have a hernia and sent me to a CT scan. Thankfully it wasn't. I had just pulled some muscles with a possible tear. I felt much better within a few days!

I just had my gallbladder removed 4 weeks ago. I have read that there are people that still get that pain and doctors have no answer. Go figure! I hope it goes away and doesn't come back!

Thank you, I'm sure that is true. I'm thinking take it easy, but keep moving. Need to remember I'm 4 weeks post op. To watch my bending and twisting.

I don't have my gallbladder either. I'm a little over 2 weeks out from surgery. I don't have severe pain, but I do get soreness in the area you mentioned. It is usually if I have laid on my side for a while or if I sit in a certain position. Then I feel that soreness for a few minutes. I'm assuming it is torn muscles.

I'm glad you feel better. :-)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
