Holy Stabbing Back Pain Batman!

[alamaz]

I went into the kitchen to make lunch and before I could even get anything out I had this sudden, super sharp, stabbing pain in my right shoulder blade area. I mean, it hurt and it still is a little tender. I know that area for pain is typically associated with the gall bladder but when I was being dx'ed with celiac they did an ultrasound and nuclear scan for GB problems and I the tests were negative. Could my gallbladder just now be acting up? Right now it feels like a sore/stiff muscle like when I'm driving and I try to turn my head to the right it hurts. Has any one else experienced this? I have a call into my doc. but they close for lunch and haven't gotten back to me.

I hope you're doing okay today. I have heard that gallbladder problems are MUCH more common during pregnancy. Had you eaten anything greasy or high in fat earlier?

thanks April. I feel better. My doc. called back and said if the pain were to happen again go to the ER otherwise follow up with my regular doctor if it doesn't go away. Although somewhat stiff I thankfully haven't not had the intense pain again since the other morning. The bizarre thing is that morning I ate a smoothie and sausage patty for bfast and then an orange for a snack so I'm wondering if it was my gallbladder or some wierd muscle spasm instead. I might go to my massage therapist and ask her or to the chiropractor. crazy! i swear everytime i talk to my docs. they all look at me with blank stares like i'm the first person with such a complaint.
