::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

Oh, hope you'll get well soon!

Hope you are again feeling well.

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.

Poor you! I've been offline a bit with a cold and didn't read about your troubles. I'm glad you're on the mend! Get well soon! I've had a pinched nerve a couple of times from stress, and it wasn't very painful but just left my arm tingly and my shoulders tense. My doctor recommended professional massage, which was great. I don't like friendly backrubs at ALL, but I found that I do like professional massage. And I never would have splurged on it without a doctor's recommendation.

Though I'm sure your own doctor will have given you his/her own professional advice. Take care of yourself!
