I've been diagnosed with gallstones quite a long time ago and I'm waiting to have my gallbladder removed. I'm struggling with a few different symptoms and I'm being told that it's probably down to my gallbladder although further tests haven't been done. So can gallbladder issues cause stomach pain, nausea, shaking, chest pain, back pain and shoulder pain? The pain is in both sides but worse in the left side and is fairly consistent.
