OK, first off...No Boo Hoo here....not looking for sympathy stuff, a lot more people out there a lot worse off than I ever will be...

Been having shoulder pain and lack of movement, went to Doctor yesterday...X-Rays and then of for a MRI...
heard back from Doctor, good news, no tear...bad news it's degenerative...not gonna heal...set up for Physical Therapy. Oh fun fun...said it's from overuse or strain over the years...sniper team was fun but guess I'm paying for it now....I know I didn't overwork it...

Trike days may be over, the "push-pull" action of steering is painful...
back to 2 wheels??? We'll see.

That certainly is a bummer. Possibly physical therpy will help you. Good luck with your problem.

What is this? Everybody's either trying to check out on us or selling their Tri's. Ride that *****, pushing and pulling that Hog through the twisties is the best therapy ever. If it don't hurt you probably ain't doing it right!

If the therapy don't ease off the pain and get you some upper body strength don't push it. Hit the liniment "Ben Gay" and give it some time, I would not sell the Tri prematurely a couple of Alieve or Advil you may be able to get some saddle time in.

Of course with the liniment you may be riding alone!

Not a shoulder, but I've been doing physical therapy for my back, and I'm better than I have been in 5 years or so. I agree with all the above, don't make any hasty decisions. Best of luck in dealing with your shoulder.

Casper, Pain in right shoulder ,no Exrays , MRIs doctor prescribed TRIXAICIN HP tropical Analgesic Cream contains Capasicum Oleoresin with 0.075% Capsaicin,(no smell) have been using it for years for phantom pain,seems to work on shoulder as well. Takes several days to work but done wonders for me (after appling it with fingers wash fingers off with water) be careful with touching any private parts, garanteed will get your attention).Worth a try?
