Hello,

The shoulder and arm pain after eating is indicating possible heart problem. However, we should rule out stomach and gallbladder issues too. To me, your cholesterol level of 225 if fine, and there is no need to continue taking Crestor. Metformin should be used as per your blood sugar levels. Discuss with your caring doctor as soon as possible to run further diagnostic tests to rule out cardiovascular and stomach issues.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
