What Causes Pain In Shoulder That Radiates Towards Abdomen? Suggest Medication
A 65-year-old man complains of pain in his left shoulder that radiates toward his abdomen every time he mows her lawn or works out in the yard. Every time he rests, the pain goes away. What is the likely diagnosis? What medication will likely be prescribed? If eventually he finds that rest or the prescribed medication did not relieve symptoms, what condition is likely developing?

The condition most likely is a Hiatus Hernia.
The stretching of the ring causes a referred pain in the left shoulder.
Go for a CT scan of the abdomen and Upper GI Endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis.
If positive , the only answer is surgery.
No medicines will work, in fact can be harmful.
