I have read your query and understand your concern.

Shoulder pain is seen due to many causes.

Till then have cap. Rabeprazole once daily empty stomach, Tab. aceclofenac 100mg + Thiocolchicoside 4mg, cap Pregabalin 75 mg+ Methylcobalamine 750 mcg at night (please obtain the necessary prescriptions for these from your local physician).
