BETWEEN THE SHOULDER BLADES

I TOLD MY PHYSICIAN DURING A ROUTINE VISIT THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED A PARALYZING DISCOMFORT
ON A FEW OCCASIONS WHEN I LIE DOWN AT NIGHT.  I GET THIS DISCOMFORT/PAIN THROUGH MY BACK
BETWEEN MY SHOULDER BLADES BUT PRIMARILY ON THE RIGHT SIDE.

MY PHYSICIAN SENT ME FOR AN ABDOMINAL ULTRASOUND.  THE RESULTS FROM THE ULTRASOUND WERE SOME FAT TISSUE SPOTS ON MY LIVER AND SLUDGE IN MY GALLBLADDER.  MY PHYSICIAN HAS
NOW REFERRED ME TO A SURGEON.

WHAT EXACTLY IS HE REFERRING ME TO THE SURGEON FOR?

Probably an evaluation to see if you should have your gallbladder removed. Your symptoms and the sludge in the GB may suggest that your GB is malfunctioning and may need to be removed.
