What Causes Severe Pain In The Shoulder Blade After Gallbladder Removal?

I had gallbladder removed last week - 8 days ago. No stones, just very inflamed. I don t see my doctor until Friday, he is out of town. Is it common to have some pain in the same area as I did before the surgery (right rib and right shoulder blade)? I ate an egg salad sandwich and some chips last night and it hit me hard. Today, no rib pain but the shoulder blade area stil hurts a bit.
