Severe pain right side at the bottom of my rib cage



Recommended Posts

I have had pain for 24 hours sharp, was worse when I moved around..right side underneath my bottom rib. talked with the nurse said maybe Constipation. Took care of that, I don't think that was it. Today I'm sore with sharp pain, but improved. Same spot? I woke up Friday morning with this pain, was fine when I went to bed. I did clean out my closet and moved a lot on Thursday. Anyone else had this happen?

Sometimes it is gall bladder related. More often the not it is incision pain from torn muscles. I had the same thing, but it eventually went sway after a couple weeks. Keep an eye on it.

Do you still have your gallbladder? Could really be a lot of things. If it persists.... Please see your doctor. Best wishes!!!

The only pain I can remember on my right side near the rib cage was gall bladder problems. I think that is quite common after VSG. If you dont start to feeling better go get checked out. Hope you feel better soon!

Thank you very much, its better today, but if it continues I will check in with the doctor on Monday. I had my gallbladder removed several years ago. I thinking (hoping) maybe a pulled muscle?

I had a severe burning sensation bear one of my incisions. Oh my goodness. It hurt so bad. I had a week post op appointment to follow up with my doc the next day, thankfully. She thought I might have a hernia and sent me to a CT scan. Thankfully it wasn't. I had just pulled some muscles with a possible tear. I felt much better within a few days!

I just had my gallbladder removed 4 weeks ago. I have read that there are people that still get that pain and doctors have no answer. Go figure! I hope it goes away and doesn't come back!

I get weird pains. Like I will have an ache near an incision site, and it will last a couple hours...then move. So weird.

I don't have my gallbladder either. I'm a little over 2 weeks out from surgery. I don't have severe pain, but I do get soreness in the area you mentioned. It is usually if I have laid on my side for a while or if I sit in a certain position. Then I feel that soreness for a few minutes. I'm assuming it is torn muscles.

I'm glad you feel better. :-)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
