Hello,
Constipation is not associated with shoulder pain. Constipation may be not good for liver failure patients. Eat high fiber diet, use Bisacodyl suppositories may useful. Regular exercise, with soluble fiber may be helpful. Please consult your physician, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query.
