Thread Name: Help: 'Guitar Shoulder'
Subject: RE: Help: 'Guitar Shoulder'
You said "after playing 50 years." Are you perchance a 50+ female? If so, it could be a common "frozen shoulder." Your doc can diagnose it easily. Mine lasted nearly six months. My orthopedic surgeon friend gave me some exercises that helped. Another doc said only time would heal it. See a doc! For me the pain was greatest when I reached out the car window in a lateral type move.
