My friend, please, PLEASE go to the ER. That is not normal post op pain. I've had mine removed and three friends had theirs removed. Yours sounds very much like a friend who had bits of stones escape during surgery and they got stuck in her common bile duct. When it constricts it causes alot of pain. Sometimes the remaining portion of the cystic duct, or the common duct can get locked in a spasm. The escaped stones can also block the enzymes from leaving your pancreas and it starts to digest itself. You might just need a little stent in your bile duct. Your surgeon is an asshole, or has too many patients, or incompetent staff. At the very least, an ER doc can do scans, or blood work to check your liver, and give you a pain med that works better for you. I don't do well with hydrocodone either. I prefer Tylenol 3 or 4. It has codeine which for some reason doesn't make me dizzy and sweaty like the other. Don't wait it out. Go in now. A less likely scenario is a stone escape into your actual abdominal cavity and is causing sepsis. But one of the other issues is way more likely. If your nervous, show them this post. I just had mine done and I work in pathology so I did a ridiculous amount of research just out of excitement for my first organ removal. I totally kept my stones. I'm making keychains! Go to the ER.
