Hello,

It is possible that inflammation of gallbladder or peritoneum may radiate the pain to shoulder and back. So control the inflammation with antibiotics and you may use pain killer for pain relief. Use tablet udilive 300mg twice a day for two weeks.

If symptoms not improved please consult with your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
