Sounds like a bum gall bladder, but OF COURSE YOU SHOULD see your doctor!!! gOOD LUCK - rUBY

Yup. Gallbladder. See your doctor. In the meantime cut out rich fatty foods. that will keep the pain at bay.

From what I've seen, alot of gallbladder pain is not by your shoulder blade - it tends to be lower down to the right side. However, that does not mean it can't be gallbladder.

I would be more inclined to think of pulled muscles. In some cases, some people have cardiac pain that can be described this way (don't panic!). Pain also can make people feel nauseated, as can cardiac pain and gallbladder pain. If the pain continues, worsens or something new develops, I would consider getting checked out by an MD, IMHO.

Take care.
