Could Shoulder Pain Be Attributed To Gall Bladder Problem?

I have been having severe pain in my right shoulder blade for several days. My chiropractor said it could be gall bladder problems if doesn t improve with the treatment she gave me. Used cold and hot packs all day yesterday along with tylenol. The pain was less this morning, however, there is a pressure between the blades which lets up at times, seemingly connected to much heavy belching. I have had a problem with deep belching for years, I feel pressure in my chest to the point of thinking I m having a heart attack, or very sore spots all over my head, also in that right shoulder blade area(have had problems there for 52 years caused by stress I have always thought). My husband massages me which causes the belching to come from deep inside, once it stops, the tightness and soreness is gone. I have told my doctor & others before him about this, all I get is a look like I have a third eyeball. Could this be attributed to gall bladder problems possibly?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
HI. The simplest way to get to the root of the problem is to go for tests:
Upper GI endoscopy would have diagnosed the possible problems of esophagus and stomach and duodenum.
Ultrasonography would definitely tell us not only about gall bladder but liver and all other organs.
If necessary you also can go for barium studies . All this under a care Gastroenterologist.
A proper diagnosis alone can help to come to a conclusion and pointed , result oriented treatment.
