Question 1

very bad abdominal pain and left shoulder pain after eating. can last hours.

Accepted Answer

Gallbladder : When associated with eating two common causes can be gallstones and the other would be inflammation or ulcer of the stomach. If there is pain going to your left shoulder that would be consistent with gallbladder issues. I would recommend depending on the severity of the pain. If you can wait to see you primary care provider make an appt. If not get to the emergency room. They will do some tests.

Question 2

what causes severe chest pain, shoulder pain,neck pain after eating followed by throwing up. also dizziness, and sweating. have had this 3 times?

Accepted Answer

YouGotYourHeartInIt: Glad I saw this.It worries me a little.Of course,any doctor would need to know more but,a lot of other possibilities aside for now,at your age it could be related to your heart.A rather rare form of angina.I'd expect you'd get those symptoms after exertion too but everybody is unique.Best to get the heart issue settled ASAP. I'd also consider what I've been eating and how much. Lighten-up for now.

Question 3

what would cause back and shoulder pain while eating, not after eating. have had shoulder, arm and back pain for a week. told it is cerv radiculopathy?

Unusual: Cervical radiculopathy typically is not related to eating. Consider gastrointestinal conditions that may be causing these symptoms. Gallbladder problems, for example, can produce not only abdominal pain but pain that moves to your back or right shoulder blade. Check with your doctor.

Question 4

why do i get severe back pain below shoulder after eating?

However other possibilities too such as reflux, muscle problem or lung.

Please consult a doctor licensed in your area urgently.

Question 6

can a pinched nerve in the upper back or neck cause back and shoulder pain when eating?

Accepted Answer

Unusual: Pinched nerves are usually affected by motion or position but not usually by the act of eating per se.

Question 7

small squishy, pea sized bump on left side above shoulder near neck trunk, teeth pain on same side, minor difficulty swallowing on that side sometimes, neck stiffness, minor shoulder pain, neck discomfort, does not obstruct sleeping, or eating ?

Accepted Answer

Lymph Node: Possibly a lymph node, enlarged from a draining abscess. Tooth pain indicates need to see a dentist immediately. If this is a draining abscess and it flares up you could be in a serious medical emergency which could include throat closure and toxins traveling into your chest. Do not dismiss the symptoms your body is giving you.

Question 8

how should i treat my shoulder pain?

Accepted Answer

NSAIDS, ice, heat...: Pain, stiffness, and inflammation can be relieved  with over-the-counter medications like advil or aleve (naproxen). Follow directions on label. Ice for about 45 minutes will address inflammation and swelling, never apply ice to the skin, always over a towel or clothing. Follow this by heat for about 20 to 25 minutes to help soothe and relax tight muscles. Gentle range of motion and stretching exercises.

Question 9

how should i reduce my shoulder pain ?

Accepted Answer

Be Evaluated: Its not possible to improve the situation without an accurate diagnosis. Shoulder pain can be caused by problems specific to the shoulder, or the pain can be the result of a problem in another location in the body like the neck. Once an accurate diagnosis is made physical therapy targeting the identified problem and some anti inflammatory medication is first line treatment.

Question 10

could it be something bad if i have shoulder pain?

Accepted Answer

Rarely "bad": Lots of things cause shoulder pain.  By far, the most common thing is irritation of the shoulder tendons.  This goes by many different names:  "rotator cuff tendinitis", or "bursitis", or "impingement".  This are nicely helped by therapy and possibly a cortisone shot.  A good exam and at least an x-ray, however, are key elements to getting the best treatment for the problem.
