A little over a year ago i had my gallbladder taken out it was sudden and very painful but since then i have had pain in my right lower quadrant pain, I am an alcoholic and I quit drinking for four months to see if that took care of the pain but it didnt the pain is sensitive to the touch and a dull ache and when i bend a certain way it feels like it is pinching or tearing something. I use Ibuprofen for the pain and tylenol but nothing seems to help. Can you tell me anything about what might be going on?
Hi.noted history of cholecystectomy and occurrence of right lower qua Chat Doctor.  It may be a radiating post-operative pain, but other causes such as muscular strain, infection (diverticulitis), obstruction (possibly new lesions), appendicitis, ileitis must also be ruled-out. It is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Diagnostics (such as ultrasound, ct-scan, blood counts, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~
