Hello Gabrielle

As it turns out I have bursitis in my shoulder  and no structural damage. So I have been back to yoga and am loving it. The only problem is I don’t know if it is making my shoulder worse or not. It still feels very tender and hurts a bit at night. When I wasn’t doing any yoga I had a sense of improvement, perhaps a false sense because I wasn’t moving my arm much. So my big question is, am I better off resting my shoulder completely for a month or two or is there a distinct benefit to be derived from yoga? I’m avoiding certain poses that are too challenging, like full locust and camel, but still doing the rest which cause a little discomfort. Also, I’ve taken anti-inflammatories for quite a while and am not sure if I should keep taking them or take a break. I’m really impatient to be active again and want to take the fastest route to recovery!

Some guidance would be much appreciated 🙂
