He doubles over in pain every 8 minutes or so and it looks like he's having cramping from constipation but he says the pain is in his shoulder. I can touch his shoulder and move his arm around in all different directions and that causes him no pain or discomfort so I know he doesn't have an injury. Also, he doesn't seem to be constipated because he has both hard and soft bowel movements 2 or 3 times an hour. It IS hurting him to poop because he has a bad rash so I'm also thinking that he's doubling over because it hurts him so much to poop. But other than complaining that it hurts him when I clean him (right now I'm cleaning him with vaseline and toilet paper so it's not so hard on his tush) he only cries that his shoulder hurts.
I am taking him to the doctor tomorrow but I'm afraid she will say that he just isn't identifying the pain correctly or something. My son is very insistent that the pain is in his shoulder. Even when I rub his tummy and ask him if it hurts there he gets angry and grabs his shoulder. I'm afraid to ignore this if it is something serious and I also don;t know what I can press the doctor about if she doesn;t believe him or just can't find anything.
What can this be?
This happened before about a month ago, bad rash and shoulder pain.
