Thanks in advance Could be gall stone pain radiating, could be a staple-line issue. If it's persistent, I highly suggest talking to your surgical team for review.

CaribeRidge 104 Posted May 30, 2018 At 18 months post op, it could be anything from pulled muscles to a rib fracture/crack. This pain may occur immediately upon injury or develop slowly over time. It can also be a sign of an underlying medical condition, so you should report any instance of unexplainable rib cage pain to your doctor immediately. I Googled that part. But I also get similar pains that are actually coming from my back like from a pinched nerve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frustr8 7,886 Posted May 31, 2018 Well if you were a sleeve as many are these days.,when they remove your stomach remnant the surgeon pulls it right to left across your abdomen. Many have bumped and irritated some nerves going across. 💜💙😛❤ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
