I have been dealing with/nursing a sore right shoulder for a couple of weeks. I'm not sure what set it off, but it feels rather like a recurrence of the old rotator cuff problem, so I am trying to rest it some, taking NSAIDs, doing my stretches diligently (sometimes twice a day), and continuing with the shoulder-strengthening exercises.
The hard part is how few things I do in the course of a day that don't use my right arm/shoulder in some way.
One aspect of resting it is being careful about exercise. I did a very carefully selected workout last week, staying away from anything I thought might affect the shoulder. This morning I cautiously put back a couple of things that might involve it, and am hoping I got it right.
( details, with numbers )
Addendum, about three hours later: shoulder is not happy. OK, skip the lat pulldowns and biceps curls next time. *sigh*
