pain in middle right side
| Sat, 09-09-2006 - 10:04am |
I had my gallbladder taken out 4 months ago and I had some pain in the lower middle area of my abdomen into the lower middle back. It went away over summer. Now I have the pain back again. The last day or 2 it has given me quite a bit of discomfort. Has anyone else experienced this and what did you do for it. My physican without seeing me said to eat more fiber.
Would love a reply.

Sorry to hear you are in pain, but you've come to the right place!
4 months post-op isn't really all that long and what you are experiencing might still be related to healing. Scar tissue might have formed and a sudden movement might have pulled at it?
Have you tried ice or heat on the area to calm it? How about a warm bath? Not sure where you live, but here in the Midwest, the night's are getting a lot cooler and a warm bath feels good!
I am not sure what your doctor expects to accomplish with adding fiber, but get some Benefiber, or a similar type product that can be added to food, or even plain water and see if that helps. Give it another week or so and if there is still no improvement, insist on an appointment with your doctor, for a face-to-face discussion. Please keep us updated on how you are doing, OK?
