Ladyfisher: I just finished with a physical therapist. She says everything feels tight and strong in my rotator cuff. She's said without seeing an MRI she'd guess I have arthritis in both shoulders. Being a veteran with shoulder problems do you have any advice?
Lefty Kreh's casting book has a chapter on shoulder pain and injury. it is written fly his surgeon. The Dr. explains that you cannot heal from shoulder ligament damage if you sleep with your arm under your head. I tried his suggestion to keep your arm inside a T shirt and was greatly relieved of a 3 year pain in about a week. Two months later, now, I feel cured. Two of my acquaintances have gotten relief from this approach.

I broke the had under the head habit in about a week.
