Just a quick update. I have been working hard on my physio exercises and I am maintaining the increased ROM so far. It is pretty sore though.

Meanwhile, I am trying to keep a flare-up at bay. I have been taking Vitamin C...and tramadol. Strangely, my flare-ups seem to start in my shoulder and I can feel it starting. I have spent lots of time with a heat pack, though, and that seems to be helping. If I can maintain this ROM long term, it will be worth a flare-up.
