"I Can't Even Lift the Kettle Anymore." The Shoulder Pain That Slowly Took Over Everyday Life.
"I can't even lift the kettle anymore."
It sounds like such a small thing, but for Sarah, it was the moment she realised her shoulder pain was starting to take over everyday life. She'd convinced herself she was losing strength, that surgery might be around the corner, or worse, that this was simply how life was going to be now.
This is the story of how understanding her shoulder changed everything. Not because the pain disappeared overnight, but because she discovered that pain doesn't always mean damage, and confidence can be just as important as treatment.
