Hi just wondered if anyone has attacks of stabbing or prickly type pains between shoulder blades as had these last couple of days and suffer indigestion and sure i have something not right with my gall bladder as i sometimes get pains under right side of ribs, bloating and burping and occasional nausea.

    Yes at the beginning but didn't know at the times it was gallstones. Had pain under rib on right side that felt like a stitch x

    Hello

    Have you been diagnosed with gallstones? If not, this definitely sounds like it. When I had a medium to bad attack I always got pains in my shoulder blades, generally the right hand side. Your gallbladder is located just under your ribs on the right hand side too. I'd recommend going to a doctor if you haven't been diagnosed yet x

      Hi Hannah, i had ultrasound but they could not see any stones but i have read they dont always show or can be sludge in gall bladder.  I will have to see what doctor suggests if they continue thanks.

      That really does sound like gallstones, would definitely express your concerns with your doctor. Good luck x

    Hi Frances exactly same pains,as you stitch and throbbing. My ultrasound showed no stones either but i saw a consultant last week who says they don't necessarily show and he has referred me for another type of scan as well as an Endoscopy.
