Amy1311,

I think it's probably a coincidence that the shoulder pain started a few hours after starting B12 and iron supplements. I've certainly never heard of B12 or iron causing that sort of pain. Skip both for another 2-3 days and then start either B12 or iron for a week to see how you tolerate it before introducing the other supplement.
