@mawr yeah, been having steadily increasing pain, weakness and stiffness in it for the last 6 months.

Thankfully the orthopedic specialist was confident that combination of PT, icing, ergo (desk, sleeping) changes and some short term meds would sort it out.. and the stuff I was really afraid of (like the bicep anchor wearing out frequently happens after 15-20 years and would need surgery to fix) but the imaging shows it is still good!

@mawr though because of the stiffness and pain, they are doing an anti-inflamatory injection guided by ultra-sound next week.. which should get the inflammation down enough I can do the PT. He was happy to hear I'd been icing it and I should keep doing it.. couple of times every day and then told me to definitely stop using a sling, even if it hurts.. the sling is much more likely to cause problems (frozen shoulder).

@mawr also gave me a medical authorization for ergonomic workstation evaluation and some other stuff.. though I don't need to worry about that too much.. current employer gives me 400/yr for stuff like that and 2k as new employee, so I'm looking at powered sit-stand desks this weekend, our HR rep sent me the form right before the end of the day with as long as it's from any major vendor won't be a problem.
