Do you get a knot in your shoulder?

I sometimes get a knot in my right shoulder from knitting and mousing. One of my co-workers introduced me to this:

Brace

It’s a stretchy little miracle – the Body Rite Posture Pleaser. Put it on and voila, the pain goes away. It also helps your posture in general. Approved by my chiropractor, I highly recommend it. The best price I’ve found has been at Joann.com. I wear mine a little higher than pictured.

This doesn’t help the shoulder much:

I have a knot in my stomach having sent daughter #2 off to her second year at the University of Victoria. I’m comforted by the fact that it’s not too far away although getting home takes her longer than it does for daughter#1 who is much farther away. Mari’s trip involves a time consuming, albeit beautiful ferry ride, Elina usually flies from Edmonton.

Better knit that knot away.

    Hi!
    And welcome to blogland. Having pain in my shoulders is the biggest problem in my life. I do exercises that help.

    And also have one of the Poster Pleasers. Sitting upright in a chair with arms at 90 degrees really helps and taking regular breaks to stretch helps, too.
    Have a super weekend!

    Hi! Saw your post in the yahoo group. I don’t have shoulder trouble, but elbow problems. When I end up typing too much, or knit for long periods of time, my right elbow starts to burn and ache, and when I straighten it it pops louder than fire crackers.
