A member asked:

Had my gallbladder out 5/14. diag. w/ibs shortly after. ct contrast swallow & dye all clear. still have pain in rlq as a sharp pain. any thoughts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Perhaps a hernia?: While CT does a great job of showing hernias, on occasion, hernias may only become apparent when one is in the standing position, or bearing down. (That's why we classically ask people to cough during hernia exams). IBS is also always a possibility. Does the pain improve with defication? If yes, this would be more consistent with IBS.
