Diaphragmatic irrita: Talk to the surgeon who performed the surgery with your questions, or use HealthTap prime as the question's complex. Often shoulder blade pain is referred pain from the diaphragm. There could be a complication of surgery, or the original condition (afffecting gallbladder) could have come back. (Gallstones can occur in the ducts left over, or in the pancreas). Hopefully you'll get answers soon. GL

More info: There are many causes of abdo pain. When do you get pain? What type? How long does it last? Anything make it better? Anything make it worse? Does food affect it? Could be a bile duct stone. How long has it been there? Since surgery? Since before ? Did you injure yourself? Pulled muscle etc? Has anyone done any studies? Could be unrelated to surgery. See a doctor for exam and studies.
