A few years ago I was experiencing extreme (tears in the eyes) pain in my right shoulder. I couldn't even move my arm. People kid me and said too much fishing, and I thought from hanging all those heavy cloths at Orvis on a rake above my head.
Then I realized it hurt worse than ever after playing a gig (the arm movement pounding out notes on the bass)
Finally broke down and went to a therapist. Turns out, I had ripped the muscle under my shoulder blade at one point or another and the repaired tissue was in the wrong place. I did three months of NO PAIN therapy and good as new, in fact they recommended casting to keep the juices flowing.[cool]
