Bursitis sucks

[astephenson]

Usually during the summer the bursitis in my shoulder will flare up. It never happens any other time of year- probably because I'm a high school band director and conducting the band is enough regular movement to keep everything lubricated. It started bothering me a couple of days ago and today I can't lift a glass to my mouth to drink. This is the first time I've ever noticed swelling to go along with the pain. There's an obvious bulge that isn't mirrored on my other shoulder. I tried shooting a match last night and ended up having to go strong hand only halfway through the first stage. I can't remember it ever hurting THIS bad.

It's in my left shoulder. My left elbow was broken in a motorcycle accident a few years ago...this probably stems from the same impact.

Going to the doctor tomorrow. Hopefully he'll fix it.
