Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have abdominal pain post a gallbladder removal surgery. Well there is usually minimal pain associated with this operation. The abdomen will be sore as well as the small incision sites . As you become more active the amount of pain medication needed should decrease quickly. It will go with time . I would suggest you to take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and consult with your surgeon again if condition doesn't get better . Doctor will examine physically or order ultrasound to rule out any problem or infection and treat it accordingly .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
