The pain of cholecystitis is usually located in the right shoulder, scapula and the back between the two shoulder blades, and may be paroxysmal colic or distension in acute attacks.
Cholecystitis is a process of acute and chronic inflammatory reaction in the gallbladder caused by infection or obstruction due to gallbladder stones, etc. It is one of the common diseases in the digestive system. Patients with chronic cholecystitis usually do not have typical symptoms, and most often experience upper abdominal discomfort after a full meal or eating greasy food, and some patients with severe abdominal pain have back pain near the right shoulder.
In an acute attack of cholecystitis, there will be obvious and sudden severe colicky pain in the right upper abdomen, which may radiate to the right shoulder, scapula or the back between the two scapulae, usually at night, and usually manifests itself as a distending or colicky pain. It may be accompanied by gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, anorexia and constipation, as well as high fever and chills, and jaundice (yellow coloring of the skin and eyes, and deepening of the yellow color of the urine).
Patients with cholecystitis are advised to seek prompt medical attention and actively receive treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
