Larry, How are you doing with the shoulder? Yes, I went through the same and the first time I really had a problem driving was after making a left turn, then not being able to turn the wheel as my shoulder locked. I spent a lot of my life in a manual wheelchair (C5-6) and ruined my shoulders because of it. Hindsight is 20/20 and for the life of me, can't understand why people stay in a manual chair. I was always told that it will keep your arms strong, but an electric chair not only is easier on the shoulders, it opened up my world for me. I use the stretchie bands to exercise and in winter the extra insulated underwear top and sweat shirt brings the pain. It takes about a month for my muscles to strenghten and the pain to start to subside. The Dr. said both rotator cups are shot and need surgery, but with little heavy lifting above my shoulder I can't justify it. I also have 2 torn tendons and he said if another one goes my arm will be dead.

My shoulder joints have become so sore I can't sleep on them. Even worse, my right shoulder will lock when I'm trying to turn the steering wheel. Not good, even a little bit. Anybody else have such a problem? I'm getting afraid to drive. Larry Willis Sent from my iPad
