Is It Normal To Have Severe Pain In Stomach Area After Gallbladder Surgery?
I had gallbladder surgery 5 weeks ago, I am having a constant, sometimes severe pain in the upper right stomach area. Under the rib cage, through to the back, unable to take a breath at all, and in the last couple weeks, i have an involuntary breath intake. I just suck in a quick breath involuntarily.
