Dear @Zoe7 Hope your back settles. 

The only thing that works for me is to keep active and do stretches and strengthening exercises. Having good advice helps and I look online as well. 

How is your shoulder going @Owlunar2 I did not weigh it down too much. I hope.

I am feeling good today after a music day and a lovely chat while driving with a friend.  Also a lovely surprise to play a beautiful old instrument.  A challenge but the right level for me.

Ahhh ... finding the right thing to stretch us ... but not too far ... so as to break us.  We do grow frail in many ways... but strength is also possible.  Vive la Musica
