I am active, a regular yoga practictioner which does require use of my brachial area. I did not have a peg or any other alternative feeding method but I lost a good 20 pounds. I recently implemented Joel Furhman's nutritional eating program and this has really made a difference in my over all physiology. I think the shoulder has had limited improvement since I first noticed it. Initially there was pain but it has gone away. I now understand it will take time and still I hear in your answer Uptown it could actually worsen...mentally I will set my mind to stopping it from interfering with my progress. I think the consistent use in yoga practice may be warding off the addition of true pain...I just find it totally annoying that when I get to bed each night it comes on like gangbusters most of the time. You are both a true resource for knowledge with your head and neck treatments and experiences. I thank you from my heart for your willingness to share!
