I had my gallbladder removed in January of this year. Since the removal ive had HORRIBLE pain in the same general area, but feels like under my ribs. I seen a doctor and had an ultrasound, which didnt show anything. But im wondering if this pain under my ribs has happened to anyone else. (I went to the er for the severe pain once. That visit to the er was a joke. The dr looked at me, poked around my ribs and my ribs are constantly tender just to the touch, and he said well i think its a pulled… read more
This may be useful..get checked anyway Oct 6, 2016 - A condition called costochondritis, which causes pain around the breast bone and rib cage, is believed to be common in people with fibromyalgia (FMS). ... A lot of people don't realize this pain could be caused by a separate condition causing that requires its own treatment.
Oh I feel for you @A MyFibroTeam Member ! I had ovarian cysts that would rupture and I would hemorrhage internally and they did the laparoscopic surgery. They try to get all the air back out but they can't get it all. Mine pocketed above my right breast and into my shoulder. I used a heating pad for some time and it finally was absorbed. So painful, I'm praying for you.
Look up costochondritis, I've had it and yes it's very painful. It's basically inflammation of the cartilage.
When drs performed the surgery they fill the internal cavity with air. It stretches everything out, making it easier for them to get to while operating. Unfortunately, it is painful to people that are already hyper-sensitive to pain. People with fibromyalgia heal much more slowly than regular people, because we are hypersensitive to many such stimuli. Best wishes and gentle hugs are wished your way.
I would say look around for another doc.
Good Luck!
Feel Better!
