Hi,
Omeprazole does never causes pain.
This type of radiating pain might be due to nerve irritation.
Do you ever checked blood sugar or vitamin B12 levels ?
If not then go for it, as most common cause of pain related to nerves are diabetes mellitus and vitamin B12 deficiency.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
