This feels like the never-ending-shoulder-saga...

My PT feels like he is getting closer to discovering everything that is contributing to my shoulder problems. My shoulder ROM is still restricted but much better. Rotator cuff strength is increasing, at least in a couple of directions. Scalene and first rib tightness on that side is a contributor. Since the number of my symptoms are decreasing, it becomes easier for him to tell what is going on, and today I started getting numb in certain areas that indicates ulnar nerve entrapment/thoracic outlet syndrome. He gave me yet more exercises - these are to "glide the nerve" - odd term that - which will hopefully help.

Interestingly, while the "nerve gliding" that he did this morning had some odd effects in my lower scapula - once he was done all ROM restrictions in that shoulder just plain disappeared! He also no longer considers the shoulder dysfunctional - it is now acting like a shoulder though not optimally (yet) I know that in some cases nerve entrapment requires surgery to address, I REALLY hope and pray that won't be necessary here.
