gallbladder gone PAIN still there

My question is does anyone have these right side pains just near the bottom of the ribcage area and it sometimes radiates to the back. I had my gallbladder out over ayear ago and went back to my family doctor for this along with being tired alot.
She thiught it could be something to do with my bowels and I have taken some meds for this but nothing is helping unless I rest or lean to the left when it gets really tender almost like a broken rib but it can't be because I am active and run 10 miles a week, take vitamins and drink water....does this sound like it's in my head?? or has anyone experienced this too?

Actually this is my next step in trying to figure out what is going on inside my body. I have two daughters and my youngest is thirteen and I haven't had an exam for at least ten years now. I haven't made it a priority until I began to feel all these different symptons. I am quite the procrastinator.....I need to make that appointment. Thanks again!

Have you been to your OB/GYN?  It could also be a growth
like a polyp or uterine fibroid which can cause pain.
I had an uterine polyp and had pain, not as severe as yours,
but irritating nonetheless.

Do you still have your appendix?  It could be an appendicitus
attack. Also, how long ago did you get your gallbladder out.
Maybe there is some kind of infection in that area.  Best to
check with your doctor.

Thank you for your reply and I have tried a vegan diet but it was years ago and I am planning a juice detox to clean out my system thinking this can only help not hurt. that makes much sense to me to eat the vegan diet for better health.
Thanks!

I do still have my appendix and have often wondered about this possibility except I don't have pain around the belly button area and there isn't a fever with my symptons. I do know that it feels like the pain is always lingering and it gets worse when I sit or stand too long or I feel very nauseus??!! I know I need to follow up on this but I have been back to my famoly Dr. and nothing has made a difference. I had my gallbladder out over a year ago and felt great right after and then I slowly began all of this. Thanks for your input...Take CAre

Have you tried a vegan diet?  The fats associated with eat and dairy can cause a lot of problems and can cause a lot of discomfort.  By going all vegan you can get everything that you need.  If you are active this may help to elimanate the inflammation that you are having.  The protiens in meat can cause inflammation in the body without you even knowing it.  Also it will help if it is a bowl issue since it will help to detox your body and allow you bowls to work like they should.

Hope this helps.
