They conspired! Sounds abusive. Were you using the same motions that hurt your shoulder in the first place? I hope not, but doubt that you would be that lucky. Better luck in the future.

"it seems just weird to say girlfriend at that age"....How about old-girl or old-woman friend? Of course, some people find it offensive to be called "old" but - hey - what is, is. I, for one, am an old woman - not a girl. Another 10 years and I, if living, will be an ancient woman. Young (Birth to 30), Middle-Aged (30+ to 60), Old (60+ to 90), and Ancient (90+ to 120). Anyone above age 120 is Astounding!

I don't think it was the same motion that originally caused the injury (I think it was all the painting of the siding, overhang and foundation blocks). But, it makes no rhyme or reason on what hurts. Vacuuming doesn't hurt, but sweeping and some mopping does. Wiping up a table hurts but washing dishes doesn't, etc.

I find it soooo patronizing when someone calls another xx years "young" (if anyone ever does that to me I will slap them!). But I know a lot of people that call themselves that. I've never cared how old I am - and freely tell people that I'm an old lady, so I just don't understand that "young" mindset. I don't "feel" old, but I'm old compared to those newly graduated people that the company is hiring!

A few years ago, some guy (probably 20 years younger) made the mistake of pulling that "young lady" crap on me at WallyM. I looked him in the eye (hands on hips) and said, don't you feel silly calling a xx-year-old woman young?" He said he was trying to be nice. I informed him there was nothing nice about it. It insulted my intelligence that he thought I would think so. Agh!

It makes no difference, of course, but could your fall have started the ball rolling on your shoulder? Not knowing the details of your fall (and you may not remember details because of the fall), it did occur to me how much problem my shoulder gave me after my spectacular fall at the ice rink (and I don't remember details of my own fall).

That said, it only took me about 6 months to get that shoulder back in shape while, in the 1980s, it took me 2 years to "in-freeze" my other shoulder and I never had a clue why it froze up on me (other than obviously not doing exercises that went through the full range of motion!)

Un-freeze. Aha! I caught it this time. Auto-correct change my "u" to O - twice, in this comment!

Gee! I'd be buff, too, if I had to move pellets as do you. I think I've done well when I buy 7 bags of salt to fill the softener. At that, they load the salt into my car, usually, so all I have to do is get it into the house, down the stairs, and emptied into the brine tank. Sounds pretty piddly, now.

I don't think the fall did anything - that was over a year ago.

Not so buff anymore. I haven't done anything resembling physical labor since the end of August (when I first damaged my shoulder), except of course rescuing the kitty and helping to empty the storage unit.

Hard to maintain fitness through injuries. Looking good in your photo at dealership Ladies' Night.
