Taking Vitamin C Supplement. Pain In Shoulder After Drinking Energy Drinks. Why Is This Happening?
Why do I get sharp pain in my right shoulder when I drink Red Bull or some other type of energy drinks. I have also noticed the pain when I drink any drinks with a red color. Also when I take a vitamin C supplement I notice the pain in my shoulder as well. The pain is very servere, I would rate the pain level a 10, it comes and goes. The pain feels like a sharp grasping nerve or mussle pull. I know its not a pulled mussle becuase it comes and goes. I pulled mussle would be consistant.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, it appears to be the gastric irritation , which is causing the pain in the right shoulder.
I advise you to consult a gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatment.
You may need to have a gastroscopy, for diagnosis .
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms omeprazole, domperidone, and antacid gel. for 10 days, and then when ever you take redbull.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
