You can learn something every day. As a piano tuner I had blamed my shoulder troubles on excessive use and old age(49-2). Three years ago, before I was diagnosed with Parkinsons, I had a shoulder flair up that lasted six weeks. There was intense pain and extreme loss of motion. Ever since, I have had to favor that shoulder or suffer the consequences. The first tremors that I could not ignore started after that episode. I have noticed that it takes much longer to recover from a hard day`s work than it use to. Sore muscles that use to recover with eight hours rest can take as much as two days now. I should be much more careful to pace myself. I havn`t learned this lesson yet. I`m fortunate to still be able to work hard, at least some. [log in to unmask]
