After Gallbladder surgery removal - extreme pain

Herbally I would most likely start with Shu Gan Wan and see if that is helpful for her. Acupuncture wise I would do deep tuina in the ST 11, ST 12 area possibly needling ST 12 if you are using other front points (The st 10, 11, 12 area effects the vagus nerve which controls aspects of the digestive/abdominal functions). Then needle and do tuina afterwards on the huatuo of T7 (abdominal blood vessels), T9 (stomach/liver), T10 (gall bladder/bile duct) - and continue using GB 34, LV 3, ST 21, along with some local points.

It was conventional surgery. Tongue: Red, White, Thick & Greasy. Pulse on left is wiry, right side is thready. BP: 138/88, HR: 75. Patient is able to eat, no vomiting, or fever suggesting infection post surgery. She hasn&#39t gone to surgeon due to cost of visiting western doctor. My diagnosis is of qi & blood stagnation and possibly damp-heat in lv & gb. There is some pain relief post treatment, however within the next 4-5 hours after, pain resumes. I suggest her going back to the doctor to do a follow up after surgery to see if there are other issues. But my diagnosis is mostly in lieu of the fact that GB removed the bile builds up in the sphinter walls and after she introduced new food into her diet it started acting up again.

I&#39m trying to find any herbal supplements in tablet or pill form to help her pain and gb deficiency. In most part, I can prescribe herbs and make decoction for her to take but rather in her state not as convenient. Any other suggestions would be helpful! Thank you!

I think all the the above are basically true and there should be further investication. As for our Chinese diagnosis and treatment, I suggest you give us some more and detailed information about her pain, about her stools and urine, and even about her periods. The fact that she had such an opperation should not make us concentrate only on this fact...
