Hubs had his GB out late august last year. He has spent at one stage 2 weeks in hospital on pain management since the op. Reasons docs looked for are" Adhesions as mentioned above. Infection. Gall stones left in the bile duct. Bile being blocked. You can also get severe pain followed closely by the runs. It generally come after finding you've eaten something that doesn't agree with you. Hubs has said that this after surgery pain was worse than the original pain with the stones before it was removed. I must say also that he was a typical bloke who said he had heartburn for months and months before it got so bad he finally admitted he was in trouble and I got him into an emergency dept at the local hospital. Admitted straight away. His gall bladder had gone bad and was gangreneous when they operated and took it out. He still gets some pain now and again but nothing like it was in the months after the op. They have not yet found a reason for these painfull attacks. Generally he feels one coming one and takes an endone and heads for bed.
