Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had my Gallbladder removed tomorrow 2 weeks ago. I have a dark red bruise which started of small and seems to get larger on the scar where my gallbladder was removed and is very tender and sore. My liver is very swollen and a lot of bruising around that area. The last 2 days I have this sharp pain in the middle of my back just under my right shoulder plate nears spine and is very painful when I sit and lay down. I have taken pain killer but it does not help that much. I m a little worried.
Hello, I have studied your case and I think that you are having pain in shoulder because of gall bladder issue. It is called referred pain. I would suggest you to meet your operating surgeon and discussed this case with him. He will suggest you to take some pain killer like Brufen. Also getting a ultrasound is good as it may be some collection in the abdomen , you need to see if there is no infection at operating site. thanks
