| duxma | 10 days | I used Gavez gel, Diklofen gel and alcohol 70% 3 days in row, with covered arm. Reason was pushing too hard in gym. | details |
| nmulder | 16 days | Stength and flexibility in the joint returned very slowly. Was very careful not to re-injure it again during this time. Gym work and lots of stretching should help it recover quicker. | details |
| riley | 16 days | Just a supraspinatus partial tear from awkward hard climbing, I should've known better. Rotator cuff exercises would help. | details |

| 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. Need to continue rolling out my shoulder blades and keep the rest of the back muscles loosened up and also strengthen them. Work back up to high mileage in the kayak. | details |

| cbruski | 45 days | Impact injury, probably bruising and trauma to the bursa and barious ligaments and tendons. 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 |

| kensr | 241 days | Despite 2 of 4 rotator cuff muscles being totally severed, surrounding muscles seem to be picking up the load. Weakness up and out to side is lessening, still about half of L arm. Finally can sleep on R side for awhile. | details |

I have an occasional stiffness or twang of stiff muscle going down the arm. But my rom is much improved. I did PT for 3 months and mostly just used my left arm for the first 2 months.
