I have had to wait 3 months for a gall scan ( im in the uk) and am in the meantime suffering both left and right upper pain in the chest radiating through to my back. Is referred pain to the left possible with gall stones/ gall bladder issues? Ive had an ecg which was fine and was prescribed omeprazole for my stomach and tramadol for pain which ive had to stop because it disagreed with me. Im now taking co cododamol which is 500mg paracetamol and 30 mgs codeine in each pill. I take two up to 4 x a day and its not touching the pain. I know im not a typical gall bladder attack description but my gp has told me that general aches can last for months and it doesnt always have to be a huge attack. Under the ribs and central chest seems to be the most pain and shoulder blade pain on both sides of the back. Anyone relate?
