Had My Gallbladder Removed 5 Months Ago Still Having Pain

Posted on Tue, 30 Jan 2024

Question: Had my gallbladder removed 5 months ago. I've been getting pain on my left side and feel a raise in my intestine. Went drs said could feel nothing. I'm worried it's suffering sinister. I'm getting an ultrasound Tommorow, will that look at intestines?

Brief Answer:
Please go through detailed answer.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Yes ultrasound can figure out any problem related to intestine however it's a basic test so in case any problem is suspected better tests like CT scan can be done for imaging.
Divide your left abdomen into upper middle and lower part, and can you please tell me in which part of abdomen can you feel the pain.
Thanks
