What Causes Middle Of Rib Cage Pain And Pain That Radiates To Shoulder Blades?

I have had my gallbladder taken out at the end of Feb 2015. I still have pains, burning pain in the middle of my rib cage in the front and sharp pain that goes into my shoulder blades. I have runny diarehhea, gas, burping. My Dr put me on a prevacite Acid pill and Radidine for ulcers. What do you think it could be?

Hi thank you for posting your query in HCM.. I had gone through your question. I understand your concerns. Usually pain under ribs occur due to indigestion of food, especially fatty foods, due to straining of the muscles. After gall bladder removal, there is likely chance of developing infection in the liver, this can also cause pain under ribs that can radiate to the shoulder blades.I would advise you to continue the medication and avoid fatty foods intake.drink plenty of water. Hope i have answered your question. If you have any further questions i will be happy to help.
