Question 1

what could be causing me to have non-painful spasms in my stomach along with shoulder pain?

Accepted Answer

Spasms: If this is on your right side it can be related to irritation of the diaphragm due to peri hepatic changes or gallbladder issues. On the right side could include hiatal hernia, stomach issues or spleen issues that cause diaphragm irritation and cause referred pain to the shoulder.

Question 3

could stomach ulcers cause chest pain and shoulder pain? i've been having random chest pain and they said i have stomach ulcers

Accepted Answer

Yes: Stomach and GI pains can easily be 'referred' to different parts of the chest - the abdomen is 'wired' with more neurons than the brain and can definitely cause pain in unusual areas - advil (ibuprofen) and testosterone are drugs that can contribute to ulcerative diseases.

Question 5

the shoulder pain is on the left side but i am getting a pain on my right upper abdomen below rib cage.

Accepted Answer

Right upper: Pain in the right upper abdomen may be due to gall bladder or liver pathology. The left shoulder pain may be unrelated. Gall bladder pain often radiates around to the right side of the back and the right upper abdomen is tender when the liver or gall bladder are inflamed. I recommend going to the hospital emergency room for prompt examination and testing.

Secondary: Much of rotator cuff pain is secondary to scapular dysfunction and the failure rate of rotator cuff surgery is as high as 70%.  Watch the YouTube video if you have time:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o90YoI1o7w

shoulder pain on top of shoulder. hurts most when arm extend behind back or sudden twisting motion. full range of motion otherwise with little to no discomfort. able to lift weights with minimal discomfort but very sore afterwards?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: I would need more info to give you specific diagnostic opinions. The most common causes of shoulder pain in the absence of trauma include rotator cuff and biceps tendonitis and labral tears, especially in young to middle-age individuals. In weight-lifters, the 
A-C joint can become inflamed as well. If you need additional help, then I can provide an inbox consult. www.healthtap.com/dr-clarkeholmes
