Welcome MagicMom. It would be nice to talk and compare symptoms and info with both of you. My complaints are: I can't hold a gallon of milk straight out in front of me. Can't raise my arm above my head straight out from my side. External rotation is very weak. All this causes pain in the shoulder area and down my upper arm. The sternocleidomastoid muscle is also effected but I don't really notice it much. You don't realize how much you use the trapezius until it's gone. Are you having neck pain or shoulder pain?
