Tonight I had an episode of SEVERE pain between my shoulder blades that radiated up my neck, down my shoulders to my arms and through to my chest, although the back pain was the WORST. It almost feels as though someone is squeezing my trapezius muscles as hard as they can. The pain is so bad that I can't sit still, and I actually start to panic a little bit.
This is the third time this has happened, also the longest lasting episode, in the last 3 years or so. All three times I have had an alcoholic drink on a fairly empty stomach. So I am thinking either stomach, gallbladder, or pancreas. Am I way off? I am not a GI nurse and am not really sure. I've tried looking up my symptoms but can't find any that fit. I was really ready to go to the ER tonight, but finally it let up. It lasted close to an hour, not very long, but for the amount of pain I was in, long enough.
