A member asked:

If you were having an eptopic pregnancy and had pain on the right side of your stomach, which shoulder would hurt, left or right?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe neither.: The muscle that separates the abdomen from the chest is the diaphragm. When it is irritated it can sometimes cause pain in the shoulder ( right side to right shoulder and vice versa). An ectopic may not irritate the diaphragm so that there may be no shoulder pain at all.
