Had Removed My Bladder. Have Severe Stabbing. On HCG Injections. Immediately After Eating The Stabbing Pain Starts. Is This A Sign Of An Illness?

I had my gall bladder removed a couple of years ago. My main symptom was a severe stabbing pain whenever I ate food. Since then that pain in the shoulder disappeared until recently I had a couple of mild pains in my shoulder in that same spots within 30 minutes to an hour. But since it was only twice I thought I was fine. I currently am using HCG injections for the first time & I'm on my 3rd week. For the past 3 days in a row, almost immediately after I eat that severe jabbing pain in my shoulder is occurring. Is this a sign that has to do with previously having gall stones or is this signs of maybe developing pancreatitis? What's going on?

Greetings of the day
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic

Shoulder pain is unlikely to be due to pancreatitis. One of the possibility could be post cholecystectomy syndrome, which could have similar manifestation of gall bladder disease even though it has been removed. I would suggest you to avoid oily and spicy food.
Another possible cause of your symptoms could be duodenal ulcer. Management includes long term use of proton pump inhibitor and helicobacter eradication treatment to prevent recurrence.

Wishing you a healthy life.
