Can Blockage Cause Severe,radiating Pain Near The Shoulder Blades?
I had severe pain in my back up by shoulder blades. It felt like it was ripping and eventually passed . I thought I could feel movement. Now four weeks later I got sick with chills and pain in and around belly button. Blood test showed TBil high at 1.3 and svc was low 4.0 . Doctor did sonogram thought all looked good. What would you say, I think I might have blockage.
