mlakelly | 21 days | Physical Therapy twice a week for 3 weeks. Cortisone pills for the bursitis. Kayaking in the Desert Winds race certainly caused it to flair up.

Resting it wasnparamount, with ongoing analgesics for the first week or so, then consistency with six standard physio exercises. Gradually amped up the weights on the exercises. Really reaped the benefits of increasing strength in the shoulder and back; doorway stretch REALLY important for this, too. | details |

Bigmac | 74 days | I stoped PT and it feels much better and I have full range of motion back. It still herts some in the AM if I slept on it. Looking back I think to much racquetball and a couple of bad MTB crashes didn't help. Not to mention being almost 43. | details |
