i too have had the same pains. i also cannot take many other pain killers and it appears that nurofen and paracetamol are pretty much the strongest i can take which makes it difficult following surgery. i find that when an attack does occur that Buscopan helps relieve it pretty quickly. some foods trigger it off too.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!! I had my gallbladder out 5 years ago, even though I had no gallstones, just general discomfort, and gallbladder "not working". General discomfort went away.
Twice since then I've had these horrible attacks, breaking out in sudden cold sweat, nausea, feeling of suffocating, and feeling like a vice is around my midsection. Once after high fat meal, once with the flu, and now the 2nd time exactly 30 minutes after taking tylenol with codeine. Thought the first time was a fluke. Took this time for an abscessed tooth. The side effects MUCH worse than the tooth pain.
I searched the internet for side effects, didn't find anything until this. I feel better, but am concerned if I ever get an illness with intense pain requiring a narcotic.

I had my gallbladder removed a little over 2 years ago. I am having random severe pain as well. The pain comes usually after taking Tylenol and just last night I took 2 Advil for a headache and I got the same pain. It feels like the same pain I had before I had my gallbladder removed. I have been hospitalized a few times for this reason and the doctors think I am there just to get some dope. I took a CT scan and nothing came up. Now I do not go to the hospital when the pain comes. I am always anxious now because I know I can be anywhere when this severe pain occurs. I am thinking about seeing a neurologist because I do not know what else to do. I wish i could just warn the world not to get this surgery because there are natural alternatives. Has anyone found any technique that at least reduces the pain? Any suggestions?
to whomever this helps! omg NOW I KNOW WHY!!! I've had my gall bladder removed like over a year ago and have not had any symptoms until i got sick and was given tylenol with codiene OMG ! thought someone was crushing my chest and squeezing my ribs! had to go to ER for that they didnt find nothing and stupidly took it again cuz i forgot!!! like 6 mos later and when i had the old familiar pain again inflamming my chest I said what the heck i never had problems before taking codiene! so now I know why. Lately too i've been noticed i been having bad pains when i had something too greasy so i now i decided to look it up. The doctors never said what i can and cannot eat ! ugh!! now i know why!!!thanks guys
