In 1994 I had laparoscopic surgery to remove a bad gallbladder. Unfortunately the pain has not subsided but over the years has gotten worse. My doctor(s) have performed every teast available, e.g. ultrasound CT (several), liver biopsy, cameras down the throat, cameras up the rear, ect., ect., ect. Nothing was ever found except a little fat on the liver. No inflammation of the liver, none of the pancreas. Nothing. ERCP to check the biles ducts. Nothing. My doctor said that (we) have exausted all tests and good luck. The other gastro doc said I should go see a shrink. I have no other symptoms besides pain. I am an ultra distance runner who is fifty years, runs fifty mile(!) races who feels great but at times I have this pain that I really don't give a shit. Can gallbladder removal cause this type of adhesion problem? Can this adhesion problem cause this much pain?
