side aches

[BQ99]

Has anyone experiened side aches and thru out the day after gall bladder removal?? It's been 3 months since my surgery. I also have stomach pains that shifts (mostly side aches) and just over all unbalanced. A lot of tightness as well.

That's what the doctors keep telling me.

I also have had pain, in right flank comes and goes, I had gallbladder removed about 3 months ago.
I guess its the healing process after this surgery?

I might add that I don't need any pain killers for any of this. The pain is slight, fairly mild and short-lasting for the most part.  Just annoying at times.

My surgery was 12 weeks ago and I basically still have a few small issues that seem to be related to movement.

I get some poking under the right armpit, some pressure under the right rib cage on the side under the arm and some discomfort under the right breast. If I move too quickly to the side or bend over forward too abruptly, there is pain in the incisional areas as well as the right flank.  All of this appears to be attributed to movement or position. No digestive issues remain from before the surgery and the pain is definitely not the same as what I had before. My PCP feels that this will eventually go away, and it has improved, especially over the last 4 weeks.
