I apparently have a strained rotator cuff.

This sounds SO much better than "my shoulder has an invisible boo-boo".

I'll see (haha) your invisible boo-boo, and raise you a hauntingly familiar familiar.

No, it doesn't have to make sense. I'm reading lj in my seleep godamnit! :P

Better is relative, here: injured rotator cuffs suck the mighty ass. Heal well.

Owwie! Is there recommended treatments for such things, other than don't move it, and use ice/heat?

And use anti-inflammatories. And don't move it a lot. Certainly no driving, hauling, lifting, or otherwise straining it.

I ended up with a passenger to Pennsic this past year because of a rotator cuff injury -- she absolutely couldn't fly down (not because she couldn't flap either). So I hauled her massive suitcase around and helped her set up her tent, and I had someone to keep me company for the two 13-hour trips.

Yup--rest, ice, compression, elevation (though that's sorta tricky, being a SHOULDER), and eventually some massage and heat.

Oh, and get well cards and personal visits. :)

Okay, just rubber chickens from now on... :)
