PRO ADVICE
The shoulder injury. See below.
I got through my first normal day with a sling and then gave it up on the advice of a pro.
Jerry is a licensed massage therapist (the therapeutic kind not the other) and told me that the more I could move the better I would be; as long as there was no sharp pain.
He merely touched the shoulder and 'felt' what was up.
He then suggested that after yesterday's ice, I start today with ice/hot combos throughout the day.
I already have less pain and more mobility.
It sort of hurts most of the time but I figure that is a small price to pay for being strong and limber when it heals.
We just don't want it to heal in the wrong position and get a 'frozen' shoulder.
Good advice which I took to heart.
