My wife had acute gall stone pancreatitis back in 2014 and got her gallbladder removed. All her blood tests and USG reports came back normal, but she still gets really bad leg pain at night and in the mornings. She also has loose motions once a week with a burning feeling in her stomach. Could these issues be related to her past condition or is something else going on?

It's possible that your wife's symptoms could be related to her past history of acute gallstone pancreatitis and gallbladder removal, even if her blood tests and USG are normal. However, it's also important to rule out other potential causes, especially if the symptoms are significant or persistent.
