Been putting off going to the doc because I don't want her to tell me to stop sewing so I just grin, take ibuprophen and bear it. :)
I have had 3 shoulder surgeries. I am much better than before I had the work done. I recommend that you have it looked at. They can probably help you. Sometimes all it takes is some therapy or a Cortisone shot. I would not be able to sew if I had not had my surgeries done. It did take me out of action for a couple months. My right shoulder is still not quite where it should be. I had surgery (2nd time) in November. But it is a lot better than before!!!!
