Everything's connected
Everything on my left side(nonsurgical side) is still tighter than the right side. Shoulder, arm, back, hip and leg, everything all the way down. If I reach overhead with my left arm, sometimes I get a sharp pulling pain in my left hip. It works the other way too. The other day I was sitting in a chair doing some leg stretches and little while later my left arm started hurting a lot. I couldn't figure why. Then all of a sudden it dawned on me, stretching my left leg must have pulled on things in my shoulder and arm. There's been other times I've noticed this too.
The lesson here is everything in the body is connected. When you've had problems for a lot of years, like I have, one part of the body starts to affect another part, and that part can affect another part, and so on, so and on. It's kind of a domino effect. Like Scott Sonnon says, " The human body is one big myofascial matrix", and this is a perfect example of that.
