Is This A Grumbling Gallbladder?

Posted , 2 users are following.

For the past few weeks I have been experiencing pain in my right shoulder blade and this has now moved right in the centre of my shoulders blades. I have had some stomach discomfort with certain foods and it seems to be getting worse. So does this sound like an upset Gallbladder? I have a small hiatal hernia and take 10mg omeprazole daily so my digestive system is not the greatest. I am waiting to speak with my doctor this week but just wondered if anybody could offer some natural remedies in the meantime. I am trying to eat a plain diet but the back discomfort is not going away. Many thanks

    Hi, sorry to hear about your issues.Sorry this reply is late but I have only just come across your post. I have had pain in my right shoulder blade and towards the centre as well as my right side and under my ribs at the front. My GP thought it may be a gallbladder issue but the U/S scan was clear so I am awaiting a referral to gastroenterology. My shoulder blade pain is always there when I sit back or lie down so I have been unable to rest for all this time. Last night 15 minutes after tea the pain was awful under my ribs, right side and shoulder blade and my stomach swelled up enormously. The pain and swelling is still bad this morning.

    Has anyone else experienced these symptoms associated with gallbladder issues as it would be useful to know what is going on. I had a frozen shoulder 3 years ago and dont know if my shoulder blade and side pain is associated with that as I still have a lot of muscle stiffness in that area even though I was discharged 2 1/2 years ago.
