In laparoscopy we create pneumoperitoneum for the operation. Post cholecystectomy pain can be because of post cholecystectomy syndrome or as jotted down previously by you the radiation towards the shoulder can be due to diaphragmatic irritation which can be seen because of the gas being accumulated under the dome of diaphragm. The gas gets absorbed automatically within 24 hours normally. Sometimes it can also take upto more than a week
It can also be as a reason of bile being accumulated under the dome. But as the USG was normal this possibility can be ruled out
I hope you find this helpful
Next Steps
no need to worry as the USG was normal. the pain would resolve automatically
