Ulcer anyone?
Thanks for listening xo
Sounds like you have a gallbladder issue too. Did they scope you to see if it's truly an ulcer? I had an ulcer soon after surgery and my symptoms were quite different. Every time i drank anything, it felt like i was swallowing acid. Pain only hit when i mostly drank anything, not so much solid food. I think if it's that bad, hope into your car and go to Ottawa. I did so every time when i was in pain, i drove a whole hour to the bariatric centre. Good luck.
I was going to say gall bladder, too. I've had gall bladder issues since I was 18 years old. My first Dr told me I had a cold on my rib and gave me antibiotics. Anyway, I am now 44 years old and having my gall bladder removed when I have my RNY in July. You may have to go to an emergency room to get the ultrasound done. You may have a stone that's stuck in the tube. I hope you feel better soon!
I think if it's your gallbladder you need to get it checked asap. I don't mean to scare you but my cousin went in for a routine laparascopic gallbladder removal. When surgeon went in they found his gallbladder was gangrene and had to cut him open from the front to the back.
I would drive the 2hrs to have yourself checked out.

I agree with the others that it sounds like gallbladder, especially when you said it wraps around to your back and up to shoulders. (I was just in to clinic for suspected hernia and they told me the symptoms to look for if gallbladder acts up since I know I have stones but no issues so far...knock on wood. Symptoms are as you described.) I think you should take the 2 hours to drive up to the Civic ER to get checked out. They know how to deal with us (speaking from experience for an entirely other reason that brought me to ER).
Good luck and keep us posted.
