Sorry this is long. For about 4/5 weeks I’ve had discomfort / mild pain in my right hand side, it moves from the front - sort of lower ribs area, to the back - at my right shoulder blade. It’s not constant, and it’s not what I would describe as acute. Occasionally I feel it lower down - even at hip level. The time it began coincided with me starting to exercise again a long break - have stopped again now 😂
Went to the GP 2 weeks ago, who prescribed omeprazole in case it’s indigestion, and I do have some mild indigestion symptoms as well (more of a central discomfort after eating, needing to clear throat etc) but the omeprazole made me super constipated and gave me a dry mouth so I’ve stopped taking it. I had recent bloods done (last 2 months) done for another reason and liver etc was all normal. She’s referred me for an ultrasound in case of gallbladder issues but I haven’t had the appointment yet, assuming it could be months away! In case it’s relevant I’ve also had a recent pelvic ultrasound and chest X-ray for other unrelated (separate) reasons and they were both fine.
in case it’s more muscular I have also seen the osteopath, who seems unsure but has today worked right into the affected area, felt great at the time but I can feel it niggling again now. She said loads of tension in my upper back / neck.
I keep changing my mind if it feels muscular / nerve pain etc or if it’s something like gallbladder. Am also a massive worrier so tend to always think of worst case scenarios - trying to be sensible here!
does it sound like gallbladder? Everything I’ve read seems a lot more acute / more attacks which sound horrific. Whereas this is more of a low level thing grumbling along.
has anyone had a muscular / nerve thing in these areas? Or similar and turned out to be gallbladder? Thanks 😊
