Dr. Rockwood, Jr.:
And most of the time I see people, women, coming in it’s they have had a strain of the shoulder. And almost invariably, I say, “Well, how did you do last month?” “Oh, I was doing fine.”
“Well, what happened to you when on vacation?” “Well, I was doing just fine.” “Well, what happened on vacation?” “Oh, let’s see, I think I was, I went to do some exercises.” And bingo, there it is. So ordinarily at that point all I tell them is either you strained it, just as if I told you to put on a new pair of shoes and walk down to the farm and walk back, you’d have painful feet. It’s the same thing in the shoulder.
