Dear Sir/ Ma'am,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Your pain could either be due to a stone left behind, which has been ruled out by MRCP. The other cause of the pain after cholecystectomy is post-cholecystectomy syndrome which is because of faulty drainage of bile. It is a diagnosis of exclusion and the there is no standard management as of now.
The spots in the liver have been confirmed to be benign and but multiple lesions could be another cause of pain.
You should visit a gastroenterologist or a surgeon and have your symptoms and reports evaluated.
Hoping for the best.
