sharp stabbing pain in upper shoulder after swallowing food/drink

Hi,

I am getting a sharp stabbing pain in my upper shoulders after 1 second of swallowing something. This had started on Thursday after I ate my dinner. I am going to book an appointment on Monday but I thought I'd ask if anyone has experienced this before? or what it could be?

I used to get this with trapped wind. Was especially bad after a c-section

Have you tried those sorts of remedies?

Yep, trapped wind. It's the most bizarre thing.

Could be gallbladder inflammation/stones. Shoulder pain referred from sub-diaphragm cause.

Trapped wind after c sections manifests in the shoulder area....absolutely agony.

Could also be gallstones, I had a real crushing right shoulder pain with that. Will be set off by eating foods containing fat and I also found hot drinks triggered it.

But when I drink/eat something warm, I can't feel the pain as much

Fairly quickly, and once gone that was it. Is it with everything you eat?

Yes! even when I swallow my own saliva :/ but I don't feel the pain when I drink/eat hot food/drinks as much

Hi, is the pain in the middle of your back between your shoulder blades ?
My husband had a heart attack early hours of friday morning and it started with stabbing pain between his shoulder blades, within an hour he had chest pain etc, hopefully it's not anything as serious for you but your title grabed my attention and I had to reply just incase x
