pain in shoulder balde and under ribcage

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I have doe two flushes over the past two months and still have the pain like

a knife sticking under my right shoulder blade and under my rib cage in the

back. I am hoping that another flush will rid me of this pain.

Has anyone had this experience? I have read that the flushes will relieve

the pain, but can it take many flushes? I don't want to give up but I may

be running out of time. I have recently been thrust into single parenthood

after having a stay home mom for the past 15 months and I have a very

demanding and active 15 month old son. So I have to get out in the work

force soon. The good news is that now I know the pain is from gallstones

and not just having a big baby at 37 years of age. I had felt the pain was

permanent and a part of life. After learning it's gallstones I feel hope,

but the flushes aren't working (yet). Should I remain patient? I really

don't want to have the surgery but I am getting pressure since I don't have

any help with my son
