i had gallbladder surgery on 12/04/12 and for about 4 days i have been short of breath and i have sharp pains when i breathe in and out. The pain only started when i would breathe deeply but now a simple inhale and exhale is very painful. What could this be?
Hi.noted history of gallbladder surgery and sharp pain on post-operative site associated with shortness of breath and pain upon inhalation and exhalation. Post-operative pain/discomfort usually occurs even after years of surgery. It is best if you do a follow-up consult with your surgeon for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Costochon Chat Doctor.  Analgesics as needed may temporarily alleviate the pain. Hope this helps. Good day!!~
