ldhenson::hugs:: to everyone for your kind messages.
I'm mostly back up to speed re: my shoulder (still a bit sore), though it'll take me a while to catch up with replies, etc. that I owe people. I spent much of last week moving as little as possible, since the pinched nerve affected not only my right arm but also my neck/back and partly my left arm as well. In particular I have a whole new appreciation for my neck muscles now after not having been able to turn my neck or look up or down for days :-P

Date: 2011-03-23 02:59 am (UTC)Please forgive my unsolicited advice, but you may want to invest in an inexpensive over-the-counter foam cervical collar.
After years of sewing, crafting and sitting at a keyboard, I’ve developed some disc/nerve problems in my neck that often affect my shoulders, arms and hands (and few things are more frustrating to a crafter than painful or numb hands and arms).
The collar holds your spine comfortably straight and keeps the nerves from being irritated.

Sorry to hear you've had problems too; does it still bother you?
