I had my gallbladder removed on nov. 8th and was realeased on the 9th. I am still having a lot of pain and soreness all through my abdomen. The incision right under my navel got infected so i'm taking antibiotics for that but I still feel so horrible all of the time. I had been taking percocet for pain so when I came close to running out I called my surgeon and he told me that he couldn't call a prescription in to my pharmacy and that I would have to come to his office to pick them up or he could call in a prescription for vicoden which he did. I would much rather have gotten the percocet but since it's such a long drive to the hospital and I was feeling so bad I told him to just go ahead and call in the vicoden. I've been taking from 4 to 6 tabs a day but they don't help my pain. I'm so sick of hurting all of the time and not being able to do hardly anything. I can't even wear my jeans since they rub the infected incision so i've been wearing a nightgown since I went to the hospital. I'm beginning to get really depressed as a result of this. :cry:

has anyone else who has had gallbladder surgery ever had pain and soreness that lasted this long?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thank you very much.
