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.
Pain In Left Side, That Travels Up To The Left Shoulder?

I had my gall bladder out in August and a pancreatic cyst that had to be taken care of in October (had to endure it for 6 weeks before it could be operated on).
They pump your abdomen full of air during operations to help seperate the organs and stuff, but never heard of it lasting this long. You’ve probably noticed a lot of extra burping since your surgery. For some reason, removing the gall bladder is the culprit. Anyway, it ’s a good excuse to let it all hang out. Gas will form in pockets in your body. Don’t think being prego would have anything to do with surgery, unless they had to remove your gall blader the old fashion way. It takes a while for guts to get back into place and I assume that’s why the extra gas pockets up. Make sure you tell doc that you may be pregnant, just in case he wants x-rays or CT scans.
Because the pain is in your upper body and not so much in your lower abdomen, I would venture to guess this may be severe heartburn which is VERY common in early pregnancy.
However, severe pain is not a good sign in pregnancy so you should definitely contact your doctor to rule out anything serious.
I hope it’s nothing serious and hope you feel better soon!
u have gas dear, i just had an operation and thats what they told me i had wen i complained of the same thing:)
Yes, shoulder pain IS a sign of an ectopic pregnancy.. So is pain in your side.
• Severe pelvic pain
• Shoulder pain (especially on the left side)
• Pain in your sides (waistline)
• Faintness or dizziness
• Low blood pressure
• Lower sciatica
Please just get an ultrasound to make sure..
