I have been having chronic pain in between shoulders blades and and behind right breast. I recently had my gallbladder removed (15 stones) but the pain has not stopped. I have much trouble with burning in my chest. I have acid reflex. The pain is consistant, it doesn t go away. Sometimes it hurts so bad I just cry.
Hi, Thanks for writing in. The cause of your pain and discomfort is acid reflux disease. The stones in your gall bladder might have increased the pain, but removal of gall bladder will not relieve you from any pain arising due to acid reflux disease. You may follow these changes in your lifestyle apart from your regular medications for acid reflux disease. Maintain a healthy weight. Avoid tight-fitting clothing. Avoid foods and Chat Doctor. Eat smaller meals. Avoid overeating by eating smaller meals.Don't lie down after a meal. Elevate the head of your bed.Don't smoke.
