Question 8

can you let me know is inflammation visible on an x-ray?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Xray is usually for looking at bone, but swelling in the skin and soft tissues is often seen on an x-ray especially after an injury or even with infection.  If the inflammation extends into the bone, this can be seen as well due to changes in the appearance of the bone, but these changes take much longer to see on a regular xray.

Have confidence in your surgeon, go through the chole surgery, and you should do just fine with proper followup.
