Should i be worried of pain on right side above waist and dark colored urine after gall bladder removal?
Patient: Hi Dr, I have surgeory about 10 days ago to remove my gallbladder all seems ok with the normal pain, gas ,,etc,, I have been drinking water to flash the sedative from my system but today i establishied two thing, pain on my right side just above my wasite and urine is dark? why I am scared Doctor: If I was your surgeon, I'll be thinking:would be helpful to know: are you male/female? age? fevers? Are you jaundiced (yellowish skin/eyes)?So I'm thinking:- you're probably on pain medication? so you may be constipated if you're not having stools (pain meds cause constipation)- Dark urine more like dark yellowish may be due to high bilirubin which can be cause by a leakage along the biliary ductal system or injury. If the pain & dark urine persists, definitely go back and see your surgeon.Hope this helps-
