Advice & Tips: I enrolled in Gentle Yoga, once a week. I am trying to do a 30 minute session eveyday, unless I feel to beat up from other activities. It is easy to go right into my 20 minute Tai Chi Chih practice. I've had an awful time with a pain on left side of neck. Started maybe around May 2016, went away during my 10 day hysterectomy recovery (600 mg ibuprofen every 6 hours) in October 2016. The the hard physical labor in January 2017 made it worse. Neuromuscular massage helped to pinpoint the severity. One 1/2hr session. will do some more. The yoga upper shoulder stretches I think are doing the trick for the impingement. Posture and not doing "text neck" on the iphone are necessary. PT said get out of chair every 20 min.

Advice & Tips: From Oct2012 to April2012 I was unable to do the daily sun salutation, due to shoulder pain. The PT thinks it was probably the fall when i missed the step at JAn's party. It has not gone away. I felt it the other day when i slipped a little on an ice patch. I am doing the sun salutation again. Some evening in front of the TV i do many stretches.
