Suggest Remedy For Abdominal Pain
I've been having abdominal pain that's just recently sprung up. I have pain in my left shoulder and forearm, right in the middle of the upper quadrants of the abdomen, and what appears to be an indent in the upper right quadrant. I have also been having muscle pain in my legs but that is slight. I've been through many tests and a pulmonologist is leaning towards asthma being my diagnosis, but I'm not sure if that's the cause of the pain.

HI,
Asthma can not cause pain in abdomen or leg.
The pain in the upper abdomen can be due to pancreatitis, cholecystitis, gastric ulcer , colitis of transverse colon,
The pain in the left shoulder and the forearm can be due to cervical spine problem. and You need the investigations of MRI cervical spine, CT scan of the abdomen as it will show the lower chest too.
Consult your Physician as he would coordinate all the varied symptoms and findings and help you to come to a diagnosis and then may refer you accordingly.
