I have a friend also who gets shoulder pain prior to damaging/loss of life quakes - she e-mailed me today asking what's going on (she doesn't follow this stuff) as she had 'extreme' shoulder pain for the last 2 days (sent this morning)

I kind of use her as a barometer of sorts - we haven't been able to come up with any location for her pain yet - Usually it is relieved at a quake but its still going for her - so the Hindu Kush quake wasn't the end of it...if it is related.
