Is it possible that shoulder pain can indicate an ectopic pregnancy?

26-year-old woman2 years ago

Hello, I am 6 weeks pregnant and I have pain in my right shoulder. I have already been injured several years ago and I have started to have pain again since a few weeks ago! I have read that it could be an ectopic pregnancy.

Hello Mrs

It is impossible to know before your first gynecology appointment

However, if the pain persists, I strongly suggest a consultation with a physiotherapist to evaluate the pain and develop a treatment plan with you.

Sincerely

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
