Yikes!
My shoulders can bother me, and I don;t have a replacement.
So be careful you do undo your new shoulder with all of this activity.
As a hint ... I find that when I am FMQing, I like to sit higher than when I am piecing.
It seems to help my shoulders and back from tensing and stressing as much.
A good adjustable chair is worth its money..... for me I use a draftsman's chair, where the lowest is the highest of a typical stenographer's chair. The higher positions work good when I want to sit up to my cutting table and work. And in between is where I go for FMQing. Yes, I feel like Goldilocks ..... just right!
Good Luck!
