frozen shoulder in fall of 2015. Very painful. As far as the doctor and I could tell, it was from disuse. I couldn't lift my arms, and doing something as simple as tossing the bath mat onto the shower rod would give me painful spasms that hurt for the rest of the day. I had a couple of months of physical therapy. Now I lift weights or do pushups or some other kind of upper body workout almost every day. (That reminds me, I forgot to do my exercises this morning.) I think maybe I should do some yoga, too.
Sure, cycling is good for legs and butt and the cardio-vascular system, but that's not the whole body.
This has reminded me I need to be much better about stretching...I'm really prone to muscle tightness and tendon/ligament overuse issues....partly genetics, partly I just put too many miles on without bothering to stretch at all.
