Maybe. Maybe not. I've had these g*&^%$#@%$ things ( adhesions ) for 14 years now. They come and go. Right now they're here. Awful ! Then out of no where, they disappear. I know it sounds disgusting but usually they flair up after a bowel movement. Actually a burning, pulling sensation. You can actually feel that same spot where the gallbladder was. But enough of me. A friend at work had his gallbladder out around three years ago. Not a problem until a few months ago then all Hell broke loose. Same symptoms as mine but he has the pain ALL THE TIME. The doctors, after all tests were exhausted, mention lastly ( of course ), adhesions. And yes, he did mention when he fell it made them worse. These things can flair up years afterwards or can start right after the operation. Laproscopic ?

Take care.
