Dr. Jin Zhongkui
Gallbladder inflammation causing shoulder blade pain can generally be relieved under a doctor's guidance by sublingual administration of nitroglycerin or pethidine, or intramuscular injection of atropine. Gallbladder inflammation usually occurs due to long-term consumption of greasy foods or obstruction caused by gallstones. The main symptoms include persistent upper abdominal pain that radiates to the right shoulder or right scapula.
