tx Shelley... You're right about the good and bad days. Woke up this AM and my right shoulder blade and under the arm was stiff and achy. It was hard to sneeze and cough. I started massaging the area and the achy-ness seems to lessen, but it's worse today vs yesterday. I'll do some stretching a bit later -- I found out from my lymphocare physio that i shouldn't stretch to the point of feeling pulled/achy -- i thought that was OK to push myself!
I've resorted to taking an Advil in the AM to help me ease into things... we'll see. tx for sharing your experience!
