Hi,

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that the positive blood in the stool, coupled with the other symptoms could indicate a possible ulcer.

For this reason, I would recommend performing as soon as possible a fibrogastrocospy.

In the meantime, taking a high dose of PPI (Omeprazole, Pantoprazole, etc.) is necessary.

Regarding the shoulder pain, it could be related to a bulging disc in the cervical spine. For this reason, performing a cervical spine MRI study may be needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
