A member asked:
Can scar tissue from a previous ectopic cause pain in a healthy pregnancy? like the shoulder tip pain. i'm 4 weeks prrgnan.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: The scar tissue would have to be large and involving several major organs to give severe pain during a normal in utero pregnancy. Have your MD make sure this isn't another ectopic pregnancy as the chance of a recurrent one is 20% higher after having the first one.
