I have problems with both shoulders. I visit a physiotherapist every six weeks and do exercises twice daily.
My physiotherapist's advice?
Use the shoulders. So what if they hurt?
That would work if it were the shoulder leading to my masturbation hand.

do you have a massage therapist?
unrelated note. i could use a nap.
I have a qualified sports physiotherapist who is also a chiropractor and osteopath. I had to delay my visit to him during the 2012 Olympics because he was working with several countries' Olympic teams.
But while I was waiting a couple of weeks for my appointment with him, one of his colleagues tried massaging my shoulders.
Her attentions were pleasant but not as effective. She didn't have the muscle power to loosen up my stiff joints.
anti inflammatory foods, lots of water and daily stretches?
No, no and yes, specific exercises for my medical condition.

you have to drink lots of water if you want your joints to get moving again. they need the lubrication. you have to treat your body better, if you want it to work for you.

At my age I'm satisfied that I can still walk.
Drinking lots of water is counter-indicated by another of my medical problems. Drinking a reasonable amount is OK.
Many of my joints will NEVER move again. They are fuzed together.
It's too late to treat my body better. I have historic damage from repeated trauma.
If an archaeologist digs up my skeleton in a few hundred years time he/she will have an interesting time trying to work out how I got the damage evident on my bones.
I used to be an incompetent sportsperson. I played Rugby and Australian Rules.
I used to be a member of a Surf Rescue boat team. I lost count of the number of times I was thrown out and crashed on the beach.
I was a rock climber and a member of a Cliff Rescue team. I fell off the rocks and the cliffs.
I used to ride horses on Dartmoor. I fell off.
I used to race motorcycles across country. You guessed it. I fell off.
I used to be a motorcyclist. I stopped counting injuries after the 18th accident.
Before the changes to my bones caused by Anykylosing Spondilitis, the processes on my vertebrae had been flattened by repeated impacts...

I always think you must have the most interesting life. I enjoy hearing tidbits you tell.
Picking up women hurts.
But I still do it.
The key is to use your legs, not your back.
