Question 2

i keep having sharp right shoulder pain every time i eat and drink?

Accepted Answer

Unrelated: I am not aware of any way the shoulder pain is related to eating or drinking. It could be that shoulder is painful in certain positions you move your arm.  Depending upon how long it has been going on you need to be examined to figure out what is going on with your shoulder. Please  see your doctor who can do preliminary assessment and if necessary refer you to an orthopedic surgeon. Good luck.

: Your description of the paint sounds most likely for it to be a musculoskeletal pain. Try to avoid the emotions that bring it on and use anti-inflammatories for a few days, to see if it helps. If not, you should see your doctor for a follow up. Good luck.
