The unpredictability is worst - fine one day, debilitated the next. Shoulder Pain doesn't follow a schedule.
You've been told it's "in your head" or "normal for your job." You know your body - something is wrong.
You worry this is just "getting older" - but shoulder pain at your age often has a treatable mechanical cause.
Friends in 78756 recommend chiropractors, but you don't know who actually delivers results versus quick cracks.
