I was a daily exerciser until last week. Hurt my shoulder pretty bad, afraid my rotator cuff is badly strained :(

Still can't do anything more than lift like 10lbs with that arm right now. Will get back to it when I can and keep people motivated when I can :)

Oof, sounds painful. Take care of that shoulder, comrade.

Improving for sure, but still can't work out and the weight of my arm hurts after a time, so I can't run or such either without pain. Giving it the weekend before I start pushing myself!

Thanks for asking!
