Abdominal Pain, Shoulder Pain. Taken Naproxen. Related Symptoms?

I have been having intermittent sharp pains in lower right abdomen and last week I had sever pain in left shoulder. I am not sure if they are related. I was told the shoulder was spastic muscles but muscle relaxers and naproxen didn't really help. All that helped was time heat and massage but really I still get pains there as well. I am not sure if it nothing, appendix, gall bladder or something else. Can anyone help me

Hi ! The pain in your lower abdomen on the right side could have been due to appendicitis, or due to a ureter calculi giving rise to recurrent pain. This can be diagnosed only by clinical examination followed by some investigations. The pain in your left shoulder seems to be an independent entity, and management should be warm compresses along with anti inflammatory drugs, and physiotherapy. If the pain in your abdomen continues, then I would suggest you to go to your family physician who after clinical examination, may advise you for some basic blood and urine tests, along with an ultrasound abdomen for further management . Wishing you an early recovery.
