bursitis?

Post 68 of 90.

The pain in the joint of my left shoulder has been persistent today. When I put my attention into that joint, I can feel the outlines of a layer of tissue that is irritated.

During my Alexander Technique lesson, NS told me he could feel some increased resistance in that shoulder when he was moving it around. When lifting my shoulder up there was some tightness and pain at the elbow similar to the feeling of pain behind my knees when I haven't been keeping up with my stretching routine.

I definitely felt better following my lesson, although I decided it was better to take a day off from guitar and mostly work on ear training. I mostly just let my left arm lie in my lap and used it as little as possible. My working theory here is that the stiffness was my bodies way of immobilizing the joint to help it heal, so maybe it's better if I don't push it.
