Coop42, I have been reading about your progress with fascination.
Could you quantify the improvement you got so far? (E.g. pain level on an average day went from 8 for 10 hours to 2 for 5 hours).
I am also wondering how much time on average you spend per day doing your exercises.

It's kind of hard to answer but I used to be almost bedridden at times for many years. When I first started the joint mobility exercises a new excercise that only lasted a minute or two would cause me pain a inflammation for about 4 or 5 days, or more. Over time, it has improved to where I can almost do exercses daily! A huge part of this is intuition. I've learned to sense where I'm tight and where I need to move or stretch. I've had many setbacks along the way.

I'm not sure exactly how long I spend exercising each day but I feel like it's become a habit, or instinct. Some days it's more than other's but I don't really think about it that much.

I just did this video update on my progress. Feel free to ask questions. I'll do my best to answer. Also, the video has 3 views, and 2 thumbs downs, so I guess my haters are back. Any thumbs up would be appreciated! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIP8y78SmG4

Why would anyone thumb down your video? Pathetic trolling for no reason.
BTW, your right shoulder is lower than the left. Have you tried strengthening your muscles to raise it?

I have no idea why people thumbs down me for trying to be helpful to others. I had surgery on the right side 23 years ago. That might have something to do with that. I've never really noticed it.

I dont get it either. Here you are, despite your daily challenges, helping people and its downvoted? I hope its just idle minds at work, weird even so.

About the shoulder, things i have learnt, the dominant arm (if you are right handed), is usually set lower than the other - also folks tend to scrunch more on that leg lowering that side of the body.

In my case, the depressed shoulder was also because of "switched off" lower muscles. As i attempt to activate them, the shoulder has elevated and reduced some pain/discomfort.

weak stabilisation muscles, mean weak rotator cuff as well. that means arms may protrude out of the socket further impinging nerves. its all related.

I agree with you that it's all related. As I get better movement throughout my body, the less my pain seems to be. Improvements come very slowly though.

This is actually the first flare that I've had in month's. It's uncomfortable but no where near the type of pain that I used to have. Hopefully, it won't last as long either!

I just realized that this thread has been going for close to 4 years now. The nice thing for me, is a can come here and check my facts, before I make a video, to make sure it is as accurate as possible. It's kind of an online journal for me.

I'm still improving after 5 years! Rather than type, I made an update video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URMInGYSzuM
