I have been diagnosed with gallstones and an inflamed gallbladder. After I eat I can feel food sitting in my mid chest/upper abdomen (similar feeling to heartburn but worse). I also have pain in my back and a numbness in my left hand if I keep it in the same place for a short period. Are these symptoms normal or connected to my gallbladder?
