Holy cow! I've never pulled one of these before... so I didn't know what to expect.

Still not exactly sure how I did it...but I did it with flying colors. Prior to the injury, I had been stepping up my mid-winter workout routine nice and gradually, so I'm still not convinced it was workout related. But I can't tie the injury to any activity where I knowingly over exerted that shoulder either...

It's been 2 full weeks since I first felt it go south, and I'm finally feeling better to the point that it isn't totally disrupting everything I do (including sleeping...actually, IMO sleeping is when it bothered me the worst.)

At first I was really worried that I screwed my back up again some how...but the more I researched the symptoms and talked to people, then I realized it was the trap muscle.

I have a new respect for how much the trap does for our shoulders, neck and support of the arm!
