Someone’s gonna overcompensate I think…
And Sam, for the shoulder, when mine acts up, I find it’s the neck muscles that are bothered… So I stretch and rub my neck, then rotate my soulder a bit… Usually does the trick.
Re: your shoulder, I had (still have but much better now) pins and needles in my arm that a physiotherapist said was probably stiffness in my neck. She recommended two exercises-
1. Bend your elbow and grab a door frame (experiment with how high to get the stretch in the right place). Step forward with the foot on that side, hold for 20 secs, repeat 4 times.
2. With your arm straight, lean away from the frame then stretch your neck in the same direction. Same time and reps.
Obviously none of this is supposed to hurt.
I find that slowly rotating my shoulder in a hot shower helps.
I realized something today.
It’s possible comic Big Mike used to date Michelle.
It’s how Michelle knew Peter, back at the con, she used to date Peter’s brother.
And when asked how Big Mike knew Violet’s dress size, he said not to blame the pink haired one.
Is Michelle the secret Mastermind behind everything?
I feel ya on the shoulder pain. I got arthritus in my left arms completely and a pinched nerve in my shoulder. I find when one of them acts up, roll your neck around a bit and then immediately try to pop the trouble shoulder out a bit. Hurts for a twinge but then feels so damn great afterwards. Or if ya got the money consult a chiropractor?
