I fell on my butt on the ice last winter, breaking the fall with both arms. It was fine til I went to an indoor range, then that sore elbow flared up. Tried a few rounds in April, but painful. Wore a brace. Heating pad at night. Took four weeks off from golf, and it went away.
Now I got a messed up shoulder, when you fall off a ladder while painting instead of safely playing golf or riding a bike like you should when it hits 65F during a Chicago November. Two days rest, and it's much better. I hope to hit the links after two more days.
