Suggest Treatment For Severe Abdominal Pain
My 81 yr old father has been feeling sick on the stomach for about 3-4 weeks and he says he just aches all over. He went to pain management last week and received 2 injections in both shoulders for arthritis. But stomach issues were there prior to injections. He did have shingles about a year agi. Otherwise he has been in good health.

Hello,
I think he may be having gastritis or gastrointestinal ulcera. Corticosteroid injections make it worse. Visit a gastroenterologist and do a fibroscopy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
