Can Injury To Shoulder Affect Stomach?

Is it possible for injury/trauma in shoulder area to refer pain to abdomen? I have a dull ache on the right side, just under y ribs. Ultrasound shows gallbladder, pancreas, etc. OK. I also have major knots in my shoulders--could this be causing the pain?

hi

if the injury HAS AFFECTED THE BRACHIAL PLEXUS AND OTHER ADJOINING NERVE BRANCHES THEN IT COULD BE THE CASE.

NSAIDS USE FOR SHOULDER INJURY CAN ALSO LEAD TO ABDOMINAL PAIN DUE TO NSAID INDUCED ULCERS. TAKE A PPI LIKE NEXUM WITH THE PAIN MEDS

THANKS
