What Causes An Upper Abdominal Pain After A Gall Stone Surgery?
I have undergone a gall stone surgery a month back. Since then I am feeling a constant pain in my upper abdomen which reocurrs after 4-5 days. I am taking Rablet D and festal N, however there is no relief. The pain gets aggrevate after meals and stay for 4-5 hrs. Could you please advise?

Hi.
Your mentioning the route of surgery - whether open or laparoscopic would have helped me to answer better.
Anyway- the probable causes are ...
The most probable is the gastric ulcer.
This can be diagnosed by upper GI endoscopy.
As a precaution I would advise also to go for ultrasonography to see the status of
Pancreas, liver, if there is a long stump of the gall bladder duct and so on.
