Hi there!
Well, without a clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of your symptoms. With gall bladder issues ruled out, possibilities that may need to be considered include GI/ liver related infections/ inflammations, motility issues, growths masses, chest wall/ lower respiratory tract causes, neuro-muscular issues etc. With the description, nerve related issues would specifically need to be ruled out. I would suggest getting this evaluated by an internist initially and depending on the cause diagnosed/ suspected, it can be managed accordingly or specialist care may be sought.
Hope this helps.
Take care!
not since I went and was told I was impacted. I HATE going to the doctor for pain when otherwise I feel fine. With my gallbladder it took almost 3 months before they decided to 'have a look' because all of the usual tests kept coming back normal. I continued to work because, other than the excrutiating pain, I felt fine.Of course by then my gallbladder was so bad that ,as the doctor said, my other organs had started building tissue around it to wall it off.
