What Causes Abdominal Cramps And Pain In The Shoulder Blade?

I have been having cramps across my abdomen since Sunday night and by Tuesday it spread to my right side and lower shoulder blade. I went to the ER on Tuesday and they did blood work, urinalysis and an ultrasound on my gall bladder. They said everything came back normal. The doctor does believe it is my gall bladder giving my pain. I don t know if I should go back to the ER or not? He did refer me to a surgeon but that appointment isn t until December 4. I have had this problem for over 3 years!
