Surgeon says:

He has pain in the intrascapular area of the right shoulder.

An old and chronic problem I have when doing MT work is that my right shoulder aches after just a shor time at the keyboard. (I am left-handed). It seems the constant mouse movement irritate it a lot. I am now doing VRE type work and boy has it made it worse. I know my right side is probably weaker than my left and I can work on strengthening it somehow but I wondered if anyone has any ideas for this? I do not like being in pain. I've thought about a new chair ...

Total shoulder arthroplasty
Using blunt digital dissection, the subdeltoid bursa was developed as well as the plane underneath the "s/l fox" fascia and conjoined tendon.
