Hi, I am currently 31 years old and I just had my gall bladder removed in end Feb 09. I did experience the pain on my right side under my rib cage and my surgeon mentioned that it is normal as my organs are still healing and it may take a while for the pain to go off. I went to see chinese sinseh and since then, the pain did ease off.. there's still this dull pain but not as painful as before. Eat more fruits & veg and it will help:)
hi i just wondered do the pains in your rib cage feel like bruises when you press in that area? i had my gallbladder removed in april last year an ive had pain in my rite rib cage area front an back ever since an now its on the left side too if i press around the bottom of my ribs either side it feels like they are badly bruised an it just aches alot of the time feels like ive been kicked in my sides...ive had lots of tests done at docs but nothin??? is this similer to what you get?or have you read any messages that sound similer thanks ....lovely2009
My symptoms are so similiar to yours, except I did have my gallbladder out. And now they are back! Let me know if you get any answers. I'm ready for anything to help this pain.
Yes I have had all the blood screens. I should have said that. I have also had the urine tests for the Kidneys.
The area you're describing sounds like the liver. Have you had all the blood tests? Like a liver panel and hep screen?

I went like that for a year and a half. Finally, I got the Hida scan and it showed a problem. I got rid of the gallbladder and it is all better now...I have so much more energy.
