Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been feeling a sharpish pain that I m not sure if it is a muscle pain or if its coming from under or beside my right shoulder blade. I ve had my right kidney removed from renal cell cancer. I ve also been having some digestive problems; soft light colored stools that sometimes floats, or just now a very loose dark green floating stool. Last week I had a similar pain, but on the left side more or less in the same area. I am celiac but very careful although I ve been traveling and can t be totally sure. I m an asthmatic also. The only other thing happening to me, after eating my abdomen bloats and turns very hard, even though I have been careful about the gluten. Thank you for any explanations. Margot
