In person doctors have no clue what they are doing and seem to not care as long as they are getting their insurance payments. I'm so happy we have doctors like you and several others I follow these days on the internet. Of course my in person doctors tell me not to believe what I see on the internet as they write a referral to a specialist who has no clue, referral for expensive testing ie MRI, CT scan or ultra sound. The answers are right here. So frustrating .... thanks doc.
I used to have shoulder pain and a few rotator cuff tears in my life. Once I started to dead hang for a minute a few times a week. Pain and tear free for over decades now.
I had my gallbladder removed 20 years ago. I’ve had this pain since. I went to the chiropractor and they asked if I was in a car accident. ( locks up right side of neck and shoulder pain) I went to the doctor and same response. Here it is my liver. Thank you Dr Berg! I’ve been doing everything you say since February 1, 2023. I’ve lost 30lbs and no pain. I have a cheat day every 2 weeks and what happens? Pain! No more cheat days for me.
I had terrible right shoulder pain. I have crushed my shoulder skiing (both shoulders really) and after two years on the keto diet, I hardly even remember it. I need to eat more vegetables, however, and I know it, because I'm a carnivore mostly. I'm also an ostomate since 2012, and eating keto has changed my entire game. It has allowed me to live normally while maintaining an active life. Naturally, I can't be the hard-core guy I used to be, but I'm 62 and life is pretty good, but watching my diet has literally changed my life, and you have been elemental in my challenge. Thank you, sir.
My mum is a diabetic and hypertensive and she has this condition for sometime now. Multiple visits to doctors office and a lot of x-ray but they can’t figure the cause. Thank you dr berg. I’m learning more from you.
Oh my gosh!! Right when I needed this, I might actually get answers about my pain because the drs I've seen haven't provided any helpful information as to what causes my rhomboid pain! Thanks doctor!
I’ve been dealing with this issue for over a decade now. Just gotten a little worse as an adult & I have more discomfort than pain(like my upper RT side has been over worked) I was always told it was a knot in that area that was in he cause and it shall eventually go away. The examples you’ve described is what I do everyday. I tried the “ under the rib” technique and it worked!! I’ve done a diet change last year where I did OMAD of fresh fruits and veggies & lost 30lbs in 30 days (only did it for weight loss) but noticed my discomfort was practically non existent🙌 I’ll definitely switch back along with including your regiments. Thank you Doctor!🙏You are a true healer ❤️
Been dealing with this issue for a few days now. Happened suddenly while fixing my load on the road. The timing for this video is giving me a spiritual boost lol.
Contract the rhomboid muscles by bringing the two shoulder blades together.whether you are sitting or standing,bring the two shoulder blades together towards the spine.hold this position for 5 seconds with your arms sideways.repeat this exercise for two sets of 15 reps each.
I had this very problem for over 25 years. Consulted with dr.'s, surgeons, and saw a multitude of physiotherapists, and nobody offered a single viable theory as to the underlying cause, nor a viable solution. It took Dr. Berg's videos and changing my diet to very-low carb (mainly carnivore), zero seed oil, zero sugar, and a weekly 48 hour water and TUDCA fast to completely resolve the problem. Thank you Dr. Berg! I owe you one!
I had this problem for years and always thought it was my neck. After going Keto and intermittent fasting last Fall, I no longer have this pain. I also got rid of my hot flashes! Thanks Dr. Berg. I often recommend your channel and share videos with friends and family.
@@Summersunshinemylove I was in peri menopause. Hot flashes not too bad other than middle of the night. The diet change really made a difference. I realized they’d stopped about 3 weeks into Keto.
I've dealt with rhomboid pain for probably about 30 years. It almost feels like I'm getting stabbed in that area if I'm on vacation and doing lots of walking. After I lay on my back for a couple minutes it would relax and then slowly tense back up. Most doctors I've seen over the years were pretty worthless. They would just prescribed muscle relaxers which is not helping the underlying cause. Ive been weightlifting for 28 years and no amount of strengthing helped either. Three years ago I went to see a sports medicine doctor who sent me to an amazing physical therapist. She diagnosed me with extremely tight pecs, tight lats, weak serstus anterior, weak middle and lower traps. Basically my pecs were pulling my shoulders forward and my rhomboids were doing all the work to hold them back with no help from the middle or lower traps. They would quickly fatique and hurt. She gave me a few dozen stretches and strengthing exercises to add to my routine. It took about a year, but I have zero rhomboid pain now. I can stand all day with no issues. All this worked improved my workouts too. My shoulder range of motion is amazing...better than its ever been. To this day I still use all of her stretches and strengthening exercises mixed onto my regular program.
@@krystalmy2000 It probably is. You may have the same tightness, and muscle imbalances like I did. A good PT can do some tests to figure it out. Personally I wouldn't waste time with a regular doctor....I did many times. If you do go down the physical therapist road, keep in mind it'll be a lifestyle change. Most people think they can go to 5 or 10 sessions and they'll be cured for life. I did the exercises and stretches daily at home. It took about 4 months until I noticed an improvement. After about a year I was 80% better. Three years in, I'd say I'm 95%....hard to undo 30 years of damage. I still do all the stuff she gave me every day. I mix it in my regular weight lifting program during my rest sessions. On non-weightlifting days, I do them as a cool down after cardio. It only takes about 10 minutes. The only time it slightly bothers me is if we go on a long vacation with tons of walking and standing (like 15k to 20k steps per day). It may feel a little sore by day 6 or so but I no longer get the stabbing pain. It's very tolerable.
I m suffering from right shoulder pain and rhomboid pain and pain in scapular border area for a long time, and I was searching Dr berg videos since few days, I hope this works for me. Thank you Doctor!
I struggled for the first 20 years of my life with regular headaches. Nothing I did resolved them. I didn't learn the cause until I was 26. Here is how I eliminated headaches from my life. First, focus on the first 2 minutes of this video. Pay attention to the locations of those nerves. It is absolutely critical that you understand that there are nerves in your body which travel through your neck and shoulders. In the video, Dr. Berg suggests that the more common cause is from organ inflammation. I would counter that there is actually a much more common cause than that - sitting. Our body is covered by muscles. Muscles are made up of fibers. You can imagine them as strings. When we sit for extended hours; or when we use our bodies improperly, these strings gain tension and they start to pull in areas called "knots". Dr.Berg referred to these knots in this video; and mentioned that the relief from massaging them is temporary. This is true. However; the knots come back because a massage does not change the habits that formed the knots in the first place. You can get a massage once a week; but you will still redevelop the same knots because your habits are the same. So, now that you understand that knots create inflammation; which puts pressure on the nerves; which causes referred pain... what can you do about it? You must pay attention to how often you sit. Beleive it or not; sitting is the true root cause of most headaches. When the human body stays in a sitting position for many hours of the day; it creates knots and trigger points in areas that pressure the nerve; resulting in pain and headaches. Personally; the breakthrough for me occurred after I had a horrific migraine after a 12 hour bus ride. I couldn't figure out what happened. I ate properly. I drank plenty of water. Why did I get so sick after that busride? It was from sitting. Once I eliminated sitting from my life as much as possible, my headaches vanished entirely. I no longer sit to use the computer. I stand. This alone almost completely eliminated headaches from my life. These days; the only times I get headaches are when I sit for extended periods of time without moving. You can also learn to sit cross legged, in something called the half lotus position. This position is the least damaging to the human body. However; all sitting is damaging to the body. Even monks who meditate have to move their muscles correctly to prevent their bodies from becoming tight and damaged. Sitting is very damaging to the body. You must understand this if you wish to overcome your headaches and muscle pains
Now this has gotten creepy. This is about the 5th time I have an issue and the first thing I see on my phone is a notification for a video you’ve posted. My right shoulder has been bothering me for two weeks along with neck discomfort and a headache. I don’t have my gallbladder and I do have non alcohol fatty liver. I had Covid in 2021 and since I’ve had many food dislikes and I’ve been eating a lot more grains. I did the pressure on my abdomen and yes it helped! Back to my salads and vegetables! I already have the Tudca but wasn’t taking it currently. Thank you so very much for being here giving a solution to my issues. I greatly appreciate you. ❤❤❤❤
Bile salts like ox bile and TUDCA are highly recommended after cholecystectomy procedures. Been grain free one year today and had substantial improvements which has amazed my doctor
Dr. Berg, your videos are easily the best health and nutrition oriented videos available. I thought I knew a heck of a lot about these topics, but every one of your videos provides tons of new information I never knew about. Thank you! By the way, in some of the photos of you attached to some of your videos, where you are pointing at something, it looks a little bit like the iconic 007 poster pose! 😃
Had this on my right side just as described for a couple of decades, thought it was from being wrapped around a guitar all day, turns out it was my typical US grocery store eating habits, thanks.
Wow, i am happy for you. I have backpain too. From shoulders till the bottom. My muscles are tensed 24/7 Nothing to see on Mri. At home for 8 years now. Maybe it is the food! I did not think of it before. My whole body is stiff. I eat bread, potatoes, pasta, biscuits, greek yoghurt 10%. Dont drink or smoke. And 2 Coffee a day. I Will do anything to get my live back. Where do i start? And what time do i fast? Thanks
Dude same. I noticed a couple weeks after cutting gluten per my functional medicine doctors recommendation that all my neck and back pain suddenly disappeared 😅😅😅
@@Kati3bee That's my wish too, i am at home since 8 years because of my back. Can you tell me what you have for breakfast in the morning? And you skip pasta, potatoes, bread etc? Or gluten free? Thank you
I so appreciate that Dr. Berg explains the problems & symptoms & comes up with tried & tested solutions. He’s not only the Knowledge Doc, he’s s also the Solutions Doc. 👏🏼
Its the left rhomboid for me. I think it’s because I’m right handed and work a physical job. Is the left rhomboid compensating for applying pressure with my right side?
Very Important... 🙏🙏🙏 i don't know this type pure True knowledge 🙏🙏🙏 *many of friends are Suffering from Shoulder blade and Spine ,Backbone problem* 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dr Berg, may I have a video request? You talk in a lot of videos about vitamins and how much we need per day, but I'm not sure if you have a video stating exact numbers regarding how much is toxic. For example, you speak in a video about how too much vitamin A affects the bones, but I don't think you specified the quantity and the period of time. Thank you!
I had this exact problem 3 months ago, where I had deep tissue massage & it did provide temporary relief (but came back). Then separately, through watching some other Dr.Berg's videos & my own research - I was taking better care of my liver/bile ducts & since then the pain in my right Rhomboid has completely dissappeared. Thank you Dr.B. :-)
I remember eating 1 thumb size of turmeric and for some reason my gallbladder hurt, as if it squeezed... I thank God for Dr. Berg. I have fatty liver. I took NAC & TUDCA for 2 months and it helped a lot. My pain now is 2/10 and pain is not always there anymore unlike before I took TUDCA.
The timing of this video is impeccable. I just had a flair up. I have always thought it meant I slept wrong and needed an adjustment. But the way it came on suddenly and as painful as it it, reminded me of gout making me think it was diet related. But I couldn't find info on it online.
OMG I am so grateful. I am mostly carnivore and I generally healthy ans pain free, but today the pain in my right scapula, along the spine was so painful and uncomfortable, I watched this video, massaged the spot and I got instant relief (I am now happily typing!) - The culprit: Last night I bought a packet of potato crisps... canola oil and palm oil... Thank you Doctor No more processed junk food.... I indulged because I am away on holiday - at least that was my excuse ....shut up ego!!!
I have this now for MONTHS . It's til today that it feels a bit better. I changed my diet , started stretching more , in physical therapy, massage myself, exercise doing calisthenics and cardio to get things moving .
I had pain in left shoulder blade and pain and pulling, numbness in right mid riff rib cage area. Now the shoulder blade pain has shifted to more of a whole upper back pain, especially when I wake up from lying down. The right midriff pain and numbness remains.
@@Drbergdoc can you make a video about g6pd? since you made a video about methylene blue which is beneficial for some, but it isn't good for people with g6pd. i just want your opinion since i agree with most of your opinions.
Thank you Dr. Berg, I thought I was struggling with an old sports injury, but a few years back I followed your advice on how to treat a fatty liver (college days of every day drinking and pounding a loaf of peanut butter sandwiches nearly a day) and I just realized how long it has been since that area has hurt me. Thank you so much for the healthier liver and better back 😊👍
I , 44 yrs, had inflamation, burning pain esp in old injurys, overweight, abdo pain, indigestion, sinus issue, coughing and clearing throat often, had carreer altering back pain, all getting worse over time. Cured by a diet of roast beef, pork or lamb and steam up a big pot of cabbage, carrots, brocoli, cauliflour, onion and sweet potato (bake sweet potato and onion, makes it taste good) sometimes put a jar of minced garlic in it. Use olive oil only. I drink some a2 milk and eat nuts but only macadamia, walnut, pistachio and hazelnuts, and thats it, quit all other foods. I do intermittent fasting sometimes esp when portion sizes have been sneaking up. After great success with the results of the diet over 18 months or so, lost 18 kilos dispite daily home brew beer o'clock habit, I now only drink on weekends which has given further improvements, lately it feels like what I emagine being on steroids is like.
I changed my diet according to intermittent fasting. Now it has been 5 months. Now I understood why there is no backpain after long riding my scooter ( 50km daily ). Thanks Dr. Eric Berg. By Mr. Dominic from India
The only foods that caused me this kind of pain ( regarding the gallbladder) were protein milkshakes, or meal replacements as they call them, and I guess Dr Berg is right when he says that we have to eat varied real balanced foods, which are full of protein and less in carbs. Thanks for the info Dr Berg 🌸
Of course, it can also be bad discs in your neck, such as I have (three of them.) 😉 I feel it in my neck, too. My DO showed me how I can find the pressure point (below the posterior scapula) to help somewhat. Getting the blood moving helps. FWIW, so did magnesium supplementation, and keto-both helped greatly.
Hi Dr. Berg you did this video definitely for me. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you so so much. I have been having this right shoulder, right side and all my right side pain for years. I especially have them when I eat meat and on my menstrual cycle. All doctor said it's endometriosis and all. I took so many medication and none really works. I am just pain tired of going to doctors. I tried the vegan diet got some relieve but seem to be lack of b12, also did the keto and lost a lot of weight on my belly area but have the pain on the right but now I think I need to do keto the right way with more vegetables. Oh God bless you Dr. Berg and your family thank you again and again. We are 2 of a kind love helping people we are born in the same month.💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
The top foods that irritate the liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts: • Grains • Sugars • Omega-6 oils • Nut butters • Alcohol • Junk foods • Processed foods Consuming heavy meals or frequent meals can also irritate these areas. Instead, try consuming meals that consist of high-quality protein, fats, and vegetables. I also suggest doing intermittent fasting. Natural remedies to support the liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts: 1. TUDCA 2. Bile salts If the pain is not referred, try using mobility sticks to help you stretch your body and relieve the pain. Thank you Dr Berg! 😺👍
Hi Dr. Berg, do you think there could be possibility that the Dorsal Scapular Nerve pain could also traverse down to Ulnar Nerve reaching pinky finger? I have been through shingles around my neck area and always connected my persisting neck and ulnar nerve pain to the shingles, so I'm wondering if it's just the liver pressing on DSN nerve.
Good morning friends. I personally don't need this one but I listen to as many videos as possible because someone I know needs it. and who knows, one day I just may, Thank you Dr.Berg, we all love you. Oh, wow, I love that mobility stick. I use something similar at the gym. There is only one. I am going ask the CEO at the YMCA to watch your video. Perhaps they will get more then.
Have you ever experienced numbness in face?? Dr Berg I've had it on my left side for years and it's getting worse! Basically daily now...I did get a cervical spine fusion in 2018 because of the numbness in face but it didn't help it and like I said the facial numbness is through the roof daily now and I can't find any relief...it's maddening
Ivhave this problem came back three years ago but a massage therapist seid i was soo tight . I found it was lCk of nutrients , and do to he food I was eatin . I stopped eating out but ate lotts of almonds .swiss char , kale spinich .all oxilet foods . I stopped eating thoughs . Plus stress . Still cleaning up me diet , also as you suggestion bile salts , tucuta and enzymes . It dlowly going away . Thankyou doctore .
When I run I get intense rhomboid pain after a while, and it is often uncomfortable and sometimes painful when I don't do anything. I have no clue why I have this issue, but it's been there for 15 years or so now.
I had my gallbladder removed at 50, and was not eating well at the time. I have since lost 60# over a year ago went 90% carnivore. I still eat raw veggies, I love them as I grew up on a produce farm. I still have the pain over the right shoulder and about two years post gallbladder surgery, I had a large lipoma right over the spot where the shoulder hurt. Dr. told me it was just a bunch of jumbled nerves and irritation...Not really sure if that was the truth or not. Now it rarely bothers me but my chiropractor had me become very cognizant of my poor posture and it has improved greatly since then.
I just recently started having hypoglycemic after having an infusion of a medicine to improve my immune system and I developed a side effects very bad and starting to have hypoglycemia and later my blood pressure going up and s bunch of more symptoms the worst was the dehydration very severe because the dr was supposed to hydrate before which she did do and
Is it safe to take the supplements TUDCA and Bile salt for a short time without knowing if I have something with the bile or liver? (I have the pain between my shoulder blades and severe itching all over my body) Because I started taking them and I now I always bump up and bile acid comes up. 🤔 Hope someone has an answer, thank you so much ❤
I take Tudca daily empty stomach, my reason is I like Bourbon. No side effect. It will help you. but at same time if you take it with food it will work on food.
Whenever I have had rhomboid pain, it has always been consistent with one of two causes: gluten or covid. Several days to a week of extreme pain in the rhomboid. So the cure for me is to let covid take its course, or avoid gluten at all costs. I didn’t used to get pains from gluten when I was younger, so don’t cross that off as a potential cause if you’ve been eating gluten all your life. Our wheat supply has changed over decades with the usage of glyphosate and other agrochemicals.
So I am a Carpenter. Lately my Arms keep falling Asleep when I lay down at night. I have been waking up 2-3 times a night with my arms completely asleep, sometimes it gets painful & even when it's not painful it is very uncomfortable. I have to get up & stand or sit upright for it to stop. I think it has something to do with my Back but I am not sure. It's burning me out though
Dr Berg, TUDCA comes in differing dosages. How many millgrams should those two capsules optimally be? Also how many milligrams for the alternate bile salt & I have been using your Gallbladder Formula - should I continue along with these new supplements? I dont have a gall bladder since Im 27 and the Gallbladder Formula seems to be helping with weight loss. Thanks in advance for any thoughts on my questions.
I have this problem on the left side. I’ve been water fasting for 15 days- halfway done. I get 100% relief by using an infrared pad. It’s goes away in 15 minutes. Unfortunately it comes back a day or two later.
I have had shoulder pain for 20 years. The pain felt like lava being poured over my shoulder😢. I believe I have sludge obstructing bile ducts putting pressure the phrenic nerve. Now eliminating sugar. How long is the process for sludge elimination?

I had Covid in 2021 and since I’ve had many food dislikes and I’ve been eating a lot more grains. I did the pressure on my abdomen and yes it helped! Back to my salads and vegetables! I already have the Tudca but wasn’t taking it currently. Thank you so very much for being here giving a solution to my issues. I greatly appreciate you. ❤❤❤❤
Bile salts like ox bile and TUDCA are highly recommended after cholecystectomy procedures. Been grain free one year today and had substantial improvements which has amazed my doctor
Yeah it's a little creepy when you have an issue and out of nowhere dr. Berg has a video on it
Dr. Berg, your videos are easily the best health and nutrition oriented videos available. I thought I knew a heck of a lot about these topics, but every one of your videos provides tons of new information I never knew about. Thank you! By the way, in some of the photos of you attached to some of your videos, where you are pointing at something, it looks a little bit like the iconic 007 poster pose! 😃
My doc never suggested anything when I mentioned this pain. It was irritating. Eating right really helps!
I had so much arm and shoulder pain and my trainer had me stretch my rhomboid and like a miracle it resolved my pain.
Had this on my right side just as described for a couple of decades, thought it was from being wrapped around a guitar all day, turns out it was my typical US grocery store eating habits, thanks.
I used to have inflammation everywhere, especially my back. It went away after I stopped eating gluten.
Wow, i am happy for you. I have backpain too. From shoulders till the bottom. My muscles are tensed 24/7 Nothing to see on Mri. At home for 8 years now. Maybe it is the food! I did not think of it before. My whole body is stiff. I eat bread, potatoes, pasta, biscuits, greek yoghurt 10%. Dont drink or smoke. And 2 Coffee a day. I Will do anything to get my live back. Where do i start? And what time do i fast? Thanks
Dude same. I noticed a couple weeks after cutting gluten per my functional medicine doctors recommendation that all my neck and back pain suddenly disappeared 😅😅😅
@@Kati3bee That's my wish too, i am at home since 8 years because of my back. Can you tell me what you have for breakfast in the morning? And you skip pasta, potatoes, bread etc? Or gluten free? Thank you
I so appreciate that Dr. Berg explains the problems & symptoms & comes up with tried & tested solutions. He’s not only the Knowledge Doc, he’s s also the Solutions Doc. 👏🏼
Thanks Doc you’re the best I’m currently suffering some pain on my side and I started rubbing my stomach/hip one inch of my line! Thanks
I figured this out a year ago.i was amazed. Thank you for sharing dr Berg!
I am in South Africa and m addicted to your Videos Sir Thank you
Doctor Berg
Many thanks
I was having this pain for a year and started taking your gallbladder supplement and it has gotten better. Thank you!!
Very timely Dr.
Thanks so very much, God bless you for all you do for fellow human being freely.
I was waiting this. You are my angel sent from heaven
I have been gluten free since January and my neck pain have been like 90% better.
Its the left rhomboid for me. I think it’s because I’m right handed and work a physical job. Is the left rhomboid compensating for applying pressure with my right side?
Very Important... 🙏🙏🙏 i don't know this type pure True knowledge 🙏🙏🙏 *many of friends are Suffering from Shoulder blade and Spine ,Backbone problem* 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@Helenegardener if Possible Send the link 🙏🙏🙏
Dr. Berg can read minds...This week I had this particular pain and he makes a video within days. This had happen with some frequency.
Always does ✨🫶🏼
I have noticed the same, whenever I have some bodily issues ,the very day or a two I see Dr. Berg s video related to that particular health issue
Clicked this immediately. I have scoliosis and have chronic right rhomboid pain.
Dr Berg, may I have a video request?
You talk in a lot of videos about vitamins and how much we need per day, but I'm not sure if you have a video stating exact numbers regarding how much is toxic.
For example, you speak in a video about how too much vitamin A affects the bones, but I don't think you specified the quantity and the period of time.
Thank you!
Numbers will vary based upon your age, gender, level of activity etc look at RDAs and apply to your situation.
Thanks Dr. Berg. My pain ceased when I rubbed that area. It's very sensitive from the trail mix and certain fruits. I'm going back to Keto again. 😊
Great. Keto on!
I had this pain last night, for the first time ever, and Dr Berg uploads a video about it this morning 🙏
Dr. Berg is truly a blessing to us. I have a request I would be very thankful if you could please make a video on Hyperprolactinaemia. God bless you!
I had this exact problem 3 months ago, where I had deep tissue massage & it did provide temporary relief (but came back). Then separately, through watching some other Dr.Berg's videos & my own research - I was taking better care of my liver/bile ducts & since then the pain in my right Rhomboid has completely dissappeared. Thank you Dr.B. :-)
Can you tell me all you did
I wish I and my Drs. Knew about the Rhomboid connection years ago. Thanks Dr. Berg
Thanks for this reminder.
Pain makes a compelling argument.
Thank you Dr. Berg👑🏆
You're welcome!
Thankyou Dr, even taking liver friendly diet , feels so much better 👍.
I remember eating 1 thumb size of turmeric and for some reason my gallbladder hurt, as if it squeezed... I thank God for Dr. Berg.
I have fatty liver. I took NAC & TUDCA for 2 months and it helped a lot. My pain now is 2/10 and pain is not always there anymore unlike before I took TUDCA.
I'll fix this in single acupuncture session. Treated successfully many clients .
The timing of this video is impeccable. I just had a flair up. I have always thought it meant I slept wrong and needed an adjustment.
But the way it came on suddenly and as painful as it it, reminded me of gout making me think it was diet related. But I couldn't find info on it online.
OMG I am so grateful.
I am mostly carnivore and I generally healthy ans pain free, but today the pain in my right scapula, along the spine was so painful and uncomfortable, I watched this video, massaged the spot and I got instant relief (I am now happily typing!) - The culprit: Last night I bought a packet of potato crisps... canola oil and palm oil... Thank you Doctor
No more processed junk food.... I indulged because I am away on holiday - at least that was my excuse ....shut up ego!!!
I have this now for MONTHS . It's til today that it feels a bit better. I changed my diet , started stretching more , in physical therapy, massage myself, exercise doing calisthenics and cardio to get things moving .
@Helenegardener Literally 8 months and still improving. I did have a set back 2 weeks ago . Thank you for the Advice.
Thank you so much Doctor Berg. Great and very informative topic.❤
You're most welcome!
I had pain in left shoulder blade and pain and pulling, numbness in right mid riff rib cage area. Now the shoulder blade pain has shifted to more of a whole upper back pain, especially when I wake up from lying down. The right midriff pain and numbness remains.
I suffer with that for years , Thank you DR berg
You're most welcome.
Thank you Dr. Berg for sharing your knowledge🙏
Glad to help!
Bless you Dr.Berg
Thanks. Same to you!
@@Drbergdoc can you make a video about g6pd? since you made a video about methylene blue which is beneficial for some, but it isn't good for people with g6pd. i just want your opinion since i agree with most of your opinions.
Thanks,Doctor🙏
Most welcome!
what about the left side?
Thank you Dr. Berg, I thought I was struggling with an old sports injury, but a few years back I followed your advice on how to treat a fatty liver (college days of every day drinking and pounding a loaf of peanut butter sandwiches nearly a day) and I just realized how long it has been since that area has hurt me.
Thank you so much for the healthier liver and better back 😊👍
I , 44 yrs, had inflamation, burning pain esp in old injurys, overweight, abdo pain, indigestion, sinus issue, coughing and clearing throat often, had carreer altering back pain, all getting worse over time. Cured by a diet of roast beef, pork or lamb and steam up a big pot of cabbage, carrots, brocoli, cauliflour, onion and sweet potato (bake sweet potato and onion, makes it taste good) sometimes put a jar of minced garlic in it. Use olive oil only. I drink some a2 milk and eat nuts but only macadamia, walnut, pistachio and hazelnuts, and thats it, quit all other foods.
I do intermittent fasting sometimes esp when portion sizes have been sneaking up.
After great success with the results of the diet over 18 months or so, lost 18 kilos dispite daily home brew beer o'clock habit, I now only drink on weekends which has given further improvements, lately it feels like what I emagine being on steroids is like.
Thankful dr Berg, very helpful information ❤
Most welcome!
Thank you so much. I've been having this problem for the past few days. It's exactly what you said. I really appreciate you. Thank you!!!
I changed my diet according to intermittent fasting. Now it has been 5 months. Now I understood why there is no backpain after long riding my scooter ( 50km daily ). Thanks Dr. Eric Berg. By Mr. Dominic from India
The only foods that caused me this kind of pain ( regarding the gallbladder) were protein milkshakes, or meal replacements as they call them, and I guess Dr Berg is right when he says that we have to eat varied real balanced foods, which are full of protein and less in carbs. Thanks for the info Dr Berg 🌸
Can cervical problem can also be the cause of the pain that upper back pain?
Of course, it can also be bad discs in your neck, such as I have (three of them.) 😉
I feel it in my neck, too. My DO showed me how I can find the pressure point (below the posterior scapula) to help somewhat. Getting the blood moving helps. FWIW, so did magnesium supplementation, and keto-both helped greatly.
How do people get bad discs ? Can injuries cause them ? Thanks...🙏
@@silkyrobinson5079 Yes
Lifting weights stops alot of body pain as well, I fixed my back by doing back exercises, a clean diet takes it to the next level tho, dynamic duo
Dr. Berg - you don't happen to be able to recommend any practitioners in Monterey/Carmel CA, can you? Thanks for ALL you do!
Hello. Sorry but no.
Hi Dr. Berg you did this video definitely for me. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you so so much. I have been having this right shoulder, right side and all my right side pain for years. I especially have them when I eat meat and on my menstrual cycle. All doctor said it's endometriosis and all. I took so many medication and none really works. I am just pain tired of going to doctors. I tried the vegan diet got some relieve but seem to be lack of b12, also did the keto and lost a lot of weight on my belly area but have the pain on the right but now I think I need to do keto the right way with more vegetables. Oh God bless you Dr. Berg and your family thank you again and again. We are 2 of a kind love helping people we are born in the same month.💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Thanks Dr.Berg , you are a pain reliever.
Thanks for watching!
It’s absolutely helpful for me ..
The top foods that irritate the liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts:
• Grains
• Sugars
• Omega-6 oils
• Nut butters
• Alcohol
• Junk foods
• Processed foods
Consuming heavy meals or frequent meals can also irritate these areas.
Instead, try consuming meals that consist of high-quality protein, fats, and vegetables. I also suggest doing intermittent fasting.
Natural remedies to support the liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts:
1. TUDCA
2. Bile salts
If the pain is not referred, try using mobility sticks to help you stretch your body and relieve the pain.
Thank you Dr Berg!
😺👍
I have it on the left side. Whats wrong with me?
I have misaligned scapula bones.. I think it sometimes affects my spinal muscles, and I have to press my hand against the ground.
Hi Dr. Berg, do you think there could be possibility that the Dorsal Scapular Nerve pain could also traverse down to Ulnar Nerve reaching pinky finger? I have been through shingles around my neck area and always connected my persisting neck and ulnar nerve pain to the shingles, so I'm wondering if it's just the liver pressing on DSN nerve.
Do you listen down my speaker had issues with this yesterday and boom Dr. Berg to the rescue
Great. Glad this video helped you.
Thank you dr berg the vedio you shared good to know god bless always with your family🙏🥰
Thank you and God Bless Dr Berg!❤🎉😊
Thank you very much. Same to you!
I've been waiting for this.
Good morning friends. I personally don't need this one but I listen to as many videos as possible because someone I know needs it. and who knows, one day I just may, Thank you Dr.Berg, we all love you. Oh, wow, I love that mobility stick. I use something similar at the gym. There is only one. I am going ask the CEO at the YMCA to watch your video. Perhaps they will get more then.
What type of "Cooking Oil" is good 2 use when cooking food over the Stove? If anybody know
Covered in these videos: www.youtube.com/@DrEricBergDC/search?query=cooking%20oil%20
Thanks Dr.
Please also tell about migraine and behind eyeball pains related to digestive issues, is it real or a myth.
I was use my arm a lot when I worked in housekeeping for 17 years
Have you ever experienced numbness in face?? Dr Berg I've had it on my left side for years and it's getting worse! Basically daily now...I did get a cervical spine fusion in 2018 because of the numbness in face but it didn't help it and like I said the facial numbness is through the roof daily now and I can't find any relief...it's maddening
I had this same issue with my gallbladder. I fixed it with intermittent fasting. Whole food diet. And cjc-1295. And trt. I proved the surgeon wrong
@Helenegardener What? I still have my Gale bladder and feel great.
I have this pain from cervical herniated discs.
Thanks for the video Dr B. Think I've injured my shoulder joint so will see if I can find a video of yours on that
Thank you Doc?🤗

When I run I get intense rhomboid pain after a while, and it is often uncomfortable and sometimes painful when I don't do anything.
I have no clue why I have this issue, but it's been there for 15 years or so now.
I had my gallbladder removed at 50, and was not eating well at the time. I have since lost 60# over a year ago went 90% carnivore. I still eat raw veggies, I love them as I grew up on a produce farm. I still have the pain over the right shoulder and about two years post gallbladder surgery, I had a large lipoma right over the spot where the shoulder hurt. Dr. told me it was just a bunch of jumbled nerves and irritation...Not really sure if that was the truth or not. Now it rarely bothers me but my chiropractor had me become very cognizant of my poor posture and it has improved greatly since then.
Great segment
So true❤❤❤
I just recently started having hypoglycemic after having an infusion of a medicine to improve my immune system and I developed a side effects very bad and starting to have hypoglycemia and later my blood pressure going up and s bunch of more symptoms the worst was the dehydration very severe because the dr was supposed to hydrate before which she did do and
Dr Berg, please make a video on vasculitis 🙏🏼
@Helenegardener thank you
Is it safe to take the supplements TUDCA and Bile salt for a short time without knowing if I have something with the bile or liver? (I have the pain between my shoulder blades and severe itching all over my body)
Because I started taking them and I now I always bump up and bile acid comes up. 🤔
Hope someone has an answer, thank you so much ❤
I take Tudca daily empty stomach, my reason is I like Bourbon. No side effect. It will help you. but at same time if you take it with food it will work on food.
Whenever I have had rhomboid pain, it has always been consistent with one of two causes: gluten or covid. Several days to a week of extreme pain in the rhomboid. So the cure for me is to let covid take its course, or avoid gluten at all costs. I didn’t used to get pains from gluten when I was younger, so don’t cross that off as a potential cause if you’ve been eating gluten all your life. Our wheat supply has changed over decades with the usage of glyphosate and other agrochemicals.
So true, so true.
So I am a Carpenter. Lately my Arms keep falling Asleep when I lay down at night. I have been waking up 2-3 times a night with my arms completely asleep, sometimes it gets painful & even when it's not painful it is very uncomfortable. I have to get up & stand or sit upright for it to stop. I think it has something to do with my Back but I am not sure. It's burning me out though
Dr Berg, TUDCA comes in differing dosages. How many millgrams should those two capsules optimally be? Also how many milligrams for the alternate bile salt & I have been using your Gallbladder Formula - should I continue along with these new supplements? I dont have a gall bladder since Im 27 and the Gallbladder Formula seems to be helping with weight loss. Thanks in advance for any thoughts on my questions.
@Helenegardener Thank you for trying Helen, but its a waste of time just to find a nice way to tell me nothing.
thank you dr.
I have this problem on the left side. I’ve been water fasting for 15 days- halfway done. I get 100% relief by using an infrared pad. It’s goes away in 15 minutes. Unfortunately it comes back a day or two later.
Well done.
I have had shoulder pain for 20 years. The pain felt like lava being poured over my shoulder😢. I believe I have sludge obstructing bile ducts putting pressure the phrenic nerve. Now eliminating sugar. How long is the process for sludge elimination?
