[|Human|] My 17 yr old daughter had her gallbladder removed 4 mos. ago . She has had pain & discomfort ever since. The pain has been terrible the past 5 weeks. It wakes her up @ night when she is able to sleep. Today, she had an ultrasound, & the person giving it kept asking her if she had hemorraging after her surgery or any other complications. She is scheduled for an endoscopy & biopsies in 6 weeks. What could be causing her pain & should I insist that she have the endoscopy sooner. She is in terrible pain tonight & the ultrasound was very uncomfortable for her.
[|AI|]  Hi, thank you for posting your query in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern.  After gall bladder removal, few patients can develop these symptoms like abdominal pain, fever, jaundice, diarrhea. In your case abdominal pain is prominent.it is possibly due to bile duct injuries, biliary leaks, acute pancreatitis, infections. I would suggest you to get endoscopy done as soon as possible .it will help to find the cause. I would also suggest you to get the blood tests done that should include CBC, AMYLASE, LIPASE, LIVER FUNCTION TESTS. These will help to find out the probable cause Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
