Barbara, Interesting that you should mention a 50% incidence of rotator cuff injury in PWP. My injury was a result of a strrenuius sailing experience. After a series of physiotherapy treatments a decision was to be made: injection vs surgery. As we were about to take off for warmer climes (Mexico - December), my orthopedist gave the injection with orders to report from Mexico in three or four days. LO and behold ,,, better ! Was it relaxation, warm climate, psychomatic ? No relapse - just occasional discomfort dressing, putting on coat,etc. I've had two other muscle/nerve injuries: whip lash -also due to boating incident - and carpel tunnel. Physioherapy and neck brace took care of the whiplash; but carpel required the surgery. No recurrent evidence of either.. I, too, wonder what, if any, relation these injuries have to PD.
