<s>[INST] I had my gallbladder removed in 2003. I have been having a lot of pain in that area pretty much ever since. I am told that there is no reason for this pain but what can I tell you, I know if I have pain or not. So I saw through an e-ray once that there are surgical clips in that area. Could these clips be causing me this pain? [/INST] HI Thank for asking to HCMThe pain may not be due to the clips, you can try some antispasmodic drug and I think you will get good result, Dicyclomine is the drug of choice along with acetaminophen try it, if it does not helped then it has to be investigated but I am sure it will come around with this have nice day. </s>
