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.
This post was on 6-21-2011, so about 21 months ago. I'm still tighter, and have more pain in the left shoulder and hip, but it's still improving. Progress comes slowly. This is definitely not a quick fix.

I've been using the Thera Cane on my hip flexors and that's helping a lot. I think some of of my lower back issues are partly due to tight hip flexors. The left side seems especially bound up.
