What makes pain come from places other than the gallbladder during a gallbladder attack?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Each person is: Different. People experience pain in many different ways. Gallbladder symptoms are most often upper abdominal pains with nausea & pain can move to the right upper abdomen. Some feel pain into the right upper back. Some feel pain in the right shoulder due the the nerve of the diaphragm muscle. Some feel chest pain, etc.
