Right shoulder pain for about 6 months now?

I have had pain in my right shoulder that radiates to my back for 6 months or more. It is mostly achy but sometimes sharp pains in my upper back on the same side. Does anyone think this is gallbladder related? I am not having any abdominal pain. I can rotate my shoulder fine and it doesn’t feel like pain in my bone. I am in my 20’s and am just curious if anyone knows what this could be.

Hi
If it IS referred pain from the gallbladder, I would assume the shoulder pain would be associated with eating a meal containing fats.
You might want to keep a journal of what you have eaten just before it becomes most painful.
If it turns out to be your gallbladder, take a breath and consider the non-surgical approaches to managing it. Too many people are frightened into rapidly removing this organ that has a definite function in the body.
I hope this helps some!
Good luck!
go see a doctor
No it’s not even near your gall bladder. It’s more likely, you have a bruised tendon or a torn glenohumeral labrum.
try swimming
Can you put your arm strait out to your side and raise it above your head. If you can do that then it is not your rotator cuff. May have pulled some muscle. I don’t think it’s gall bladder related.
Most people go to see a doctor about their health, I don’t know why you would ask random people on the internet about this.
