In this video, I want to talk about a very common and yet not well-known issue that causes right shoulder blade pain. This has to do with your liver.

There’s a connection between your liver and your right side shoulder blade. When you get pain in your right shoulder blade, there’s a good chance it could be your liver. Your liver is a huge source of this deferred pain.

The problem can also be the gallbladder or bile duct. This can also irritate the phrenic nerve, which is connected to the neck and shoulders.

Inflammation and fatty liver are the two main causes of an irritated liver. This is often due to:
1. Alcohol
2. High carb diets
3. Too much iron
4. Vegetable oils
5. Medications

Your diet is by far the biggest factor in liver health. If we compare our diets now to back in the 70s, we can see just how bad things have gotten.
Since the 70s, we have increased…
• Grains by 29%
• Corn by 300%
• Vegetable oil by 300%

All of these foods increase inflammation, which can cause liver issues.

I get this pain too, and wondered if it was my gallbladder. I love the fact that you make videos on topics that no one else does!

I LITERALLY had a pain in my right shoulder like an hour ago and ment to check it out. Just finished a lecture and BOOM! This video is up. WHAT SORCERY IS THIS????

[roweafer]

Thank you for this video, my dad was complaining about right shoulder pain he went to his doctor and was given anti-inflammatories for two weeks they did not work he would paise the floor at night in pain one night I was sitting up with him thinking this isn’t right I came across this video it hit me this was serious I showed him it and he was scared. I decided to then ring the liver unit in the hospital I explained everything, they said he would have to come straight in they did bloods. A week later was told he had liver cancer that the bloods showed it on cancer markers, they later did a scan but we where told it was to late it was spreading like wild fire and was given terminal diagnosis we had a very short 3 months after and he passed only 2 months ago. Please don’t ignore these signs scream and shout you have to get tested because this cancer spreads so quickly we our broken hearted don’t let this happen your family.

I suffered from this phenomena for 20+ years. It was only after going carnivore and (and supplementing with choline daily) that the pain began to go away. I can even sense my liver has returned to it's normal size and doesn't feel inflamed to the touch. Thank you for the invaluble information, Dr. Berg!

Dr. Berg, I’ve just ended 4 weeks of intense pain following two broken ribs and finding out that the pain in my right upper back was actually caused from taking pain killers that enflamed my liver and gallbladder. Thank you so much ☺️

This is life changing information! I have had what I called “right body pain” for the last ten years. Recently I found a holistic practitioner and found that my liver isn’t functioning correctly! I never connected the dots until this video! My pain is in this EXACT spot!! THANK YOU for sharing this-hopefully it will help someone. I would love to see a more specific video on the diet you ate to make that pain disappear!

[meshellmyabell]

OMGosh. It's going to sound weird but I think you were really guided to make this video for me. I am literally in the middle of a 2 year search, well technically it's been 10 years but it's gotten worse over the last 2. I have a pain exactly right here and I do have fatty liver. They have even sent me to a neurosurgeon and I have done multiple MRI'S / CT scans. My thyroid has a growth on it too and I see your follow-up video that you say that the two are linked. I'm going today to have a biopsy on that. I've watched you for years and you've helped me so much, but I've not been great about following the plan. I had to send this video to my husband in the most incredulous way. My doctor told me 8 years ago that I had fatty liver and he acted like it was no big deal and nothing to worry about. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I think you actually have me in a direction then I can look into now after years of on-again off-again pain.

Thank to you I now have been taking milk thistle as my shoulder has been agony for a year! Was even effecting my right arm. I thought was an injury from lifting my son up. 2 weeks of taking milk thistle for the liver and no more pain!!!! Thank you much!

I have felt the same pain in my right shoulder, after taking few bottles of apple cider vinegar I don't have it now, but I'll try to fully eradicate and recover from it while taking more apple cider vinegar. You're so helpful sir. Thanks! Love from Pakistan❤

[raymitchell]

"I wish I knew what I know now back then"... yeah, we all feel this way!... and in so many things, in so many ways! Well, at least now we have the correct information and can start fixing this. Thank you Dr. Berg

[JohnnyRFarmer]

This blows me away. I have had this pain on and off for a few years an usually related it to stress. However, two weeks ago it became so intense for about 10 days that I was almost in tears. Recently, I resumed the healthy Keto and IF and it's gone. Nice to know what it was.
I haven't seen that purple paisley shirt in a while and I'm missing it.

I Am severely suffering from this pain currently. It’s awful, been in bed for weeks now. Thanks for the video

[jamron]

Ok this is crazy. I’ve been having this problem for months now. Yesterday I got a massage/Chiropactor visit hoping to fix this issue. Then this vid pops in my feed. Plus I’ve fallen off the keto/if time and time again over the past few years. I think this confirmation I need stick with this lifestyle. A lot of your vids and information has truth. Thank you Dr. Berg

Wow. Your explanation has just blown my mind.
I've been wondering the case of the pain in my right rhomboid.
I thought it's work related, as I've been sitting down and using a mouse a lot.
