[|Human|] my husband has been suffering for years with several symptoms but the ones that causes the most pain is his upper right quadrant. he had his gallbladder removed but we never believed that was the only problems. Every gastro doctor we saw basically said he wasn t losing weight so they wasn t worried. I don t think they believed him. I see him in pain every day and I know something is wrong when for awhile he could shove his hand up under his ribs and the pain would stop for awhile. I am doing research on my own to try and narrow some possibilities down.
[|AI|]  Hello. Thanks for asking a query at Chat Doctor. What your husband has is what we call it post-cholecystectomy pain. The possible causes are - peptic ulcer, retained stone in the common bile duct, long retained cystic duct or rarely sphincter odd dysfunction (SOD). But may of these possibilities would have been considered by your physician. If not done I would recommend - LFT (liver function test), Ultrasound of the abdomen and upper GI endoscopy. I would also suggest antispasmodics for pain relief. Take care.
