Re: Shoulder Pain

Sorry to hear about that. My advice is to see a specialist to get it checked out. In the mean time, take it easy. You may want to put something on it (heat, icy hot, tiger balm, etc) Hot showers seem to do my shoulder good (I have a shoulder issue, but not from aikido) and try sleeping with that arm and shoulder under the covers. Sometimes I wake up feeling sore in that shoulder if it is chilly at night. If I keep it under the covers, it can be chilly, but my body heat keeps it warm enough that it doesn't ache when I wake up the next morning.

Good luck.
