Beth, sending butterflies to help you and your medical practitioners to find the problem and the solution!

The ideas here are all valid. My vote is to see a PT. I had intermittent shoulder weakness and pain in my right shoulder in my late teens and early twenties. Seems it was caused by a childhood injury. I never really knew how to deal with it until I was in my 30's and broke my humerus, dislocating the shoulder. The physio I had to do to get over the frozen shoulder from having 4 weeks of pins in, taught me a LOT about how shoulders work.

One thing I have learned: mine will still bother me a little if I do not exercise it enough. Weights, yoga, kickboxing all work(ed)

So, once you get the underlying issue figured out, work with your physio to find exercises that you will enjoy - perhaps a new way of lifting those bon bons? - that will keep the mobility working. She used to say...."use it or lose it"

I hope the butterflies help,

Hugs,
