No change with the shoulder issue, but it's time to get back to the gym more regularly than to the physical therapist. It's been 6 weeks (with the exception of 3 light days in the middle somewhere). Too advanced in years to want to risk doing anything stupid, so I'm starting back at a substantial reset...

No change in upper arm and shoulder while holding the bar, despite 6 weeks of physical therapy. First therapist assumed impingement, then after 3 weeks of little/no progress thought it might be arthritis. Second physical therapist also assumed impingement until after two weeks I pointed out a shoulder asymmetry -- now he suspect a tight lat -- wants to try functional dry needling. I told him I'd rather have a more definitive diagnosis before getting randomly stabbed.
