I'm a 26 year old male. I had my gall bladder removed the april before last. Surgery went without issue and I haven't had any of the symptoms people get after removal such as diarrhea. I'm able to eat what I like without issue as well.


I do however get odd sensations in what I believe to be my biliary canal around the area my gallbladder was removed from. The past few weeks it's been more troublesome than it had been before. I will get what feels like pressure in the area (imagine if someone were to push on your stomach with a finger, similar feeling in that area) I will get numbness, feels as though the entire area goes cold and I'll get slight discomfort. It also itches on occasion. I'm not in any pain really but it feels kind of odd I guess. I've also noticed a fecal smell coming from by body on occasion. I'm not sure if I'm imagining the smell or not but it almost seems to come when I get the most discomfort in that area, usually when I'm sitting down as well.

I believe I have internal hemorrhoids as well because I can get some pretty bad bleeding after BM at times (seems to come and go) but I don't experience and pain or itching from my rectum nor am I able to locate where the smell is coming from just trying to smell at different parts of my body.

Unfortunately my insurance is not accepted by 99% of specialists I'm not sure what help I could receive outside of what my GP could provide.

anyone have any advice? I have a mild fever as well it seems. Could I have some sort of infection perhaps?
