A break from working out

[mtbc]

Something in the back of my left shoulder seems bothered. Usually my various aches and pains are not affected by my workouts but yesterday on the cross-trainer I started tentatively only to have my shoulder quickly complain. Today my shoulder still feels easily bothered so I am taking the weekend off working out; instead I shall take a pleasant hot bath. Awkwardly, driving, at least from the right of our stick-shift car, requires some use of my left arm. I also typically use it in brushing my teeth. My shoulder especially objects to my extending my left arm and applying force with it. Had I still the medical supplies I accumulated in the US I would be tempted to put it in a sling to help me rest it.
