RE: [QUAD-L] Butt Sore, Shoulder
Something else to consider about shoulder pain: I talked with a physical therapist about shoulder pain, and she said one of the primary causes is the position of the armrest of a wheelchair. We raised the armrest of my wheelchair so that they supported my arms better, and has been a big help.

Yeah But somehow in the last 2 weeks I have hurt my shoulder. While in bed it feels fine, but as soon as I sit up it starts hurting me. After a few hours I can hardly move my arm. Letting it hang, or trying to lift my arm above my neck. just is painful as heck. It's the muscles around my right shoulder. First goes the muscle on the side on my shoulder. Then goes the one on the top. Though I can't feel much of my arm I get shooting pains down to my elbow. Lastly goes my collarbone area. At that point I can hardly move my arm. Yet, in bed on my back, I can move it as much as I want with no pain. I might have hurt it trying to move my computer or the table it's on while laying in bed. I put my hand under the table then try lifting up and trying to roll the table towards or away from me. It's an awkward thing and might have straining a muscle. I go to a doc tommarow. But damn right after my butt gets better, it starts hurting to much to stay up very long. Greg

It is always something huh? I'm sorry Greg, do you have a heating pad? I know it doesn't help much but better than nothing.

Re: [QUAD-L] Butt Sore, Shoulder
Greg, Whenever I'm in bed and need to move my over-the-bed-table, I move it exactly as you described. When you go to your Doctor's appointment tomorrow, may I suggest, you ask him/her for a script for an MRI on your shoulder AND neck to check for a syrinx (look it up) it sounds like it might be. I have one and that was how it started. Bobbie Smile Everyday > On Apr 15, 2014, at 5:08 PM, greg wrote: > > After 9 months my butt sore has healed up...
