Hi @thisnthat, you may have injured your rotator cuff, which is very common. Pain may be worse in the morning because there's been reduced blood flow to the area overnight. Probably best not to do anything to irritate your shoulder. Can you get a referral to physical therapy?

Hi Teri!
Thanks for your response. Seeing my PCP tomorrow, but his guess over the phone was it was probably not a rotater cuff tear…but methinks you are correct! I will ask for a PT referral. In the meantime, I dread to think of the potential further loss of bone from lack of resistance & strength training! And I was making good progress. 😔
