hi.
it's one of the possibilities. when you've a gallstone problem, abdominal pain from it could radiate to your shoulder area. an abdominal ultrasound or a ct-scan could easily confirm the diagnosis. there's a higher probability if you also feel intermittent colicky abdominal pain especially after eating fatty food, abdominal bloatedness.
for now, if a gallstone problem is highly suspected, you could modify your diet to a low fat one.
hope this helps.
good day!!
