Do you have diabetes or any other disease?  Bloating may be sign of either having digestion problem, eating high protein diet leading to abdominal distension.  You can take carminative agents such as soda to relieve that bloating.  Also pain in shoulder can be a different issue and might not be related with this.  Try avoiding over head activities and apply local gel and warm saline for it.  I hope this will relieve your shoulder pain.
