[|Human|] Hi, I have a nagging pain almost burning sensation on my right side, just below my rib cage. I had right kidney Transplant in 05 which failed and Intestinal Gangrene with Strangulation requiring them to remove 3 foot of intestine in 1993. My Gallbladder as well was removed around 2006/07. I have regular Blood work done as I am a recent Transplant Patient on the left. The pain is staying pretty consistent for the last few days. Any suggestions??
[|AI|]  It would be helpful to know the duration of the pain and the type. Nevertheless, constant pain over right side could be after the recent surgeries (Gall bladder removal/ Kidney transplant). It needs evaluation by a physician initially asking for relevant investigations; keeping in mind that he/she should not subject you to unnecessary analgesics! A Pain physician might get involved if needed and if the symptoms persist or if no definitive diagnosis has been reached. The options of pain relief vary from safer oral analgesics to interventional pain management strategies involving intra-lesional local anesthetics a steroids or nerve blocks and nerve ablation.
