How can I lessen the pain and swelling in my shoulders from propelling my wheelchair?!? 😕 My physical therapist says Im propelling myself correctly and have good form and posture.... Should I just ease up on the 5-7 mile walks in very hilly areas? For the first few months it was tolerable, now its just getting annoying. My shoulders are so sore and swollen and they keep locking up and getting super stiff.... Its not that painful, but I dont want to cause any permanent damage and its making it extremely difficult to propel myself. Seasoned wheelchair users/and or others who can help, any tips? Ive been icing like every day for the last month and it helps the swelling but not the stiffness/locking.... My arm strength and muscles are fine (not sore at all and very healthy). Its just my joints. Also, my wrists are perfectly fine too.
