It doesn't feel like it's in the joint but the muscles close to the joint. Since I don't lift that arm much it hasn't bothered me enough to have it checked out. My tuning shoulder has no problems...<br/><br/>David Ilvedson, RPT<br/>Pacifica, CA 94044<br/><br/>

Both missed a couple of months of work to recover, as I recall. One is still in the business, one is not.</span></font></div>
