10 Symptoms of Cholecystitis
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #8: Back Pain
Problems in the abdomen area are often notoriously painful. They can leave the patient curled up in agony, pleading for help in making the pain go away. As if that is not bad enough, the pain can sometimes begin to spread to other parts of the body.
Patients with cholecystitis will sometimes find that the pain they are experiencing will spread to their back. It can also spread further, sometimes as far as just below the right shoulder blade. That the pain can affect the right shoulder specifically can help doctors to reach an initial diagnosis in some cases.
