Musculoskeletal?: It's unlikely that your pain is due to a gallbladder issue since you had surgery over a year ago. A select number of patients have retained left over gallstones which may cause pain in which an ultrasound or bloodwork is needed to see this. Most often, your pain associated with movement is musculoskeletal and will improve with rest and time, and anti-inflammatory medications.
