    Right side pain after gall blader surgery when I take a deep breath
    I had gall bladder surgery 10 days ago by laproscopy. I have had a stabbing pain in my right side around lower ribs towards my back every time I take a deep breath. I thought maybe it could be gas and I have been taking gasx for the past four days. Pain still exists. What can this be?

    Gas is used to inflate the abdomen during laproscopy surgery, this would last for about a week. Could be this but if you are in any pain that you think is not associated with your surgery should be reported to your doctor.
