Not an ulcer: It would be unlikely to be an ulcer since this is easily seen by endoscopy ("camera"). There are many different possible explanations including gallbladder disease, pancreatitis, irritable bowel, to name but a few. Pain this severe warrants urgent evaluation--i suggest that you contact your primary care doctor or gastroenterologist for re-evaluation. I hope you feel better soon.

Possible gallbladder: Having pain in upper abdoen that radiates to the back or shoulders and occurrs after meals will most likely end up being gallbladder disease. This can be diagnosed with an ultrasound and if that is negative a hida scan. When you say you have had a camera i presume you had an endoscopy. That would have seen an ulcer if you have one. Ask your doctor for a gallbladder work up.
