14 Signs Of A Gallbladder Attack

7. Pain in your Right Shoulder

Your phrenic nerve is irritated when your gallbladder is inflamed and enlarged. The phrenic nerve runs from your belly through your chest and into your neck. When you consume a fatty meal, the nerve is aggravated, resulting in nerve irritation in your right shoulder blade. Recurrent right shoulder pain is an important symptom that doctors look for when evaluating gut-related discomfort or gallbladder problems.
