Hi,
You have not mentioned your age.
Your problem is less likely due to gas problem but it might be some musculo-skelaten problem.
If you are elderly then this can be due to degenerative changes in your shoulder muscles and in shoulder joint.
There might be having changes of peri-artheritis.
Go for x-ray cervical and shoulder joint.
Go for physiotherapy and short way diathermy.
Ok and take care.
