Post Gall Bladder Pain
by robhobson, Dec 20, 2007 03:12PM
My dad just had the laproscopic gall bladder surgery. When he woke up, he was in extreme pain that they had trouble getting under control. I started as stabbing pain in his arms and hands. It has now been a week and is mostly in his sholders and upper back. He is not one to want to take any kind of pill - pain or otherwise. It wont seem to go away. Does anyone have any ideas as to what it could be?

Make sure they check his liver enzyme levels and pancreatic levels.
If his bile duct is spasming, or his sphincter of Oddi is spasming, narcotic meds won't help a lot. There are some anti-spasm meds that might give him a bit of a break, but they don't work for everyone - ask about higher levels of Levsin. But if the problem is in the duct or sphincter an ERCP may be necessary. Make sure they stent the duct afterwards to try to reduce the possibility of pancreatitis.
