A member asked:

What could cause sharp pain in right shoulder/collar bone after eating besides gall bladder? it is worse about an hour after eating. no gb.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Esophagus?: Could be an esophageal spasm, or a large hiatal hernia, known as a paraesophageal hernia. These can be diagnosed with upper GI contrast xray, and esophageal manometry. Usually, a GI doctor, or general or thoracic surgeon with experience in treating reflux disease would order these tests. Hope this helps!
