Pain in left side, that travels up to the left shoulder?

Question

I had my gallbladder out in July. The pain I am feeling is in the same area just on my LEFT side instead of my right. The pain isnt AS bad as an gallbladder attack.

Its more like a stabbing pain that happens at the sametime in my left shoulder. It hurts fpr about 30-40 seconds at a time. Then goes away for a while. No matter how I sit, stand, lay etc.

I am going to the doctor tomorrow. Well atleast calling.

And we also believe I am 4-6 weeks pregnant (Took a test..well 2 of them here at home, and its postive). I just had a c-section in April, and Gallbladder removed in July.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Sometimes gas can get caught up around the shoulder. I had a problem years ago where there was gas that got caught around my ribcage and caused the pain to refer up toward the shoulder.

Answer 2

I wish I had this 2 years ago when I damaged my rotator cuff while showing off.

If you have a shoulder keeping you awake at night you'll know it's no laughing matter.
