Radiating back pain between shoulders

Believe it or not, the radiating back pain that I experienced that sent me to the ER where they found my ascending aneurysm was a gall bladder episode. They later found numerous gall stones.

I can relate. My back pain was also due to gall stones plus my pancreas. Gallbladder removal over 45 years ago which lead me to a specialist. This brilliant doctor got a lot of additional testing and discover that I have a rather rare condition, pancreas divisum which requires being NPO in the hospital until the pancreas has been able to rest. That seemed like such a big deal back in the day, but oh boy it’s nothing compared to these cardio issues. I’m very blessed to be alive!
Cheers to everyone on this journey!!

@liveoak How did they find that, I have upper back pain radiating from front to back sometimes on my right and then left. Mostly aching and sometimes sharp. I have a 4cm and 2leaky heart valves. Was told they don’t think it has anything to do with those.
