Unfortunatly, PT isn't much of an option as the hospital's in Hong Kong and I'm in Guangdong, about 4 hour trip no matter how you cut it. And PT as such isn't exactly a know science in this area, although Tai Chi, other ancient physical arts are, and you can get one heck of a theraputec massage here.

One positive side benefit to all this, between the muscle loss making my shoulder's more bony, and the fact my left shoulder is numb to the touch, I can carry my computer bag for long periods without much pain at all. Plays heck with the back muscles though..

Always looking for the silver lining.
