Shoulder Status

[pantryslut]

In other news, I think I figured out what's wrong with my shoulder. That is, which motions aggravate it. Reaching forward or upward seems to be the biggest problem. The mailings kill me because I'm reaching for a stack of window envelopes over and over again.

The good news: now that I know, I can adjust.

The bad news: it's going to be hard to adjust this particular set-up in an efficient yet pain-free way. Though maybe reaching with my other arm will help.

The ugly news: this is a symptom of bursitis.

emu oil helps. it works as an analgesic. get someone to rub it in for you. it's sadly kind of expensive, but a little goes a long way.

just fyi, i was recommended emu oil by a friend who is a physical therapist, and i was veeerrry skeptical until she rubbed it into my shoulder which was killing me and it helped.

i don't have episodes very often, but i know just where the little bottle is for when i do.
