question about gallbladder scar tissue pain?

Question

I had my gallbladder taken out by laparscopy 2 years ago last month, I also had a c-section 3 weeks ago on Monday, I have been having some pain under my right breast and I was wandering if it could be scar tissue from my gallbladder surgery or gas pain and pressure from the other surgery, Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this?

Answer 1

Does it kinda feel like it's burning? If it does then I have the SAME thing!! All my Doctor, at the time, told me was that it is heartburn. I have had heartburn and I know that that is not it, it has been getting progressively worse; my new Doctor gave me a prescription for vicodin to take when it gets really bad and she said that next time it acts up during business hours she wants to get me a CT scan to see if they can see anything. She's checked everything else she can. I wish I could tell you what to do about it... Good luck!!!

P.S. Mine was about two and a half years ago, three weeks AFTER having a c-section. :-)

Possible help can be found with a chiropractor and massage therapist or in the comfort of your home if you will read the book carefully.
Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.

Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.

The cure - start with a professional massage, you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).

For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.
