Pain under Rib Cage

by feledford726, Oct 14, 2008 08:44AM
I have had pain before just like everone else. I have had my gallbladder removed and was fine for a couple of years. Come to find out scar tissue from my gallbladder surgery had attached my liver to my abdominal wall. They are CT scans, Berrum stuff ultra sounds, you name it they did it to me. My OB said well maybe it is endometriosis, day surgery comes and to find out that there was no endometriosis but my liver was attached to my abdominal wall by scar tissue. My OB said that it will grow back and that i would need to have it removed again. Now two years almost to the month I fear that it has attached itself once more. The same stabbing pain under the rib cage, and it gets worse with movement. I hopeto find out if there is a test since we know what it is or if surgery is the only way to go.
I hope my experience helps some one else out, and don't give up and second guess for self. If youare in pain find a doctor that will listen to you. I have and it has made a world of difference.
