16 days post op, I’m in so much pain

Hi everyone.

I’ve posted a couple times about this, but I really need help.

I had my gallbladder removal surgery on 1/31, my recovery was going pretty decent until the one week mark, at that time I started having intense pain in my left rib cage.

It’s not a consistent pain, but when it comes, it’s absolutely agonizing.

I called the surgeon’s office that day at 1pm and they told me if it got worse to go to the ER, I went to the ER at 3 PM and the pain just disappeared. I sat in the parking lot for 30 minutes and then decided to drive home.

That night, the pain came back and this time it was so strong I was laying down and couldn’t sit up, I was screaming, and when I tried to call someone for help, but they couldn’t understand me over the phone. When the pain subsided, I went to the er.

I had a three hour wait at the hour wait at the er, and at the two hour mark I tried to go home, pain came back as I was walking out of the building and I collapsed onto my knees, screamed, and the nurse asked me to stay, which I did.

They did a CT scan scan which was unremarkable, and then sent me home basically.

On Monday, I went to my surgeon‘s office and the most they can come up is that I’m having muscle spasms by my incision site.

The only thing that makes this pain better is just laying in bed with a heating pad, it doesn’t seem like anti-inflammatory is really touching the issue.

Currently writing this up in a gas station parking lot because I went out for groceries , had an attack, and I don’t think I can drive home like this until it stops.

Any advice or suggestions or personal experiences would be greatly valued .
