Re: shoulder issue

Hi Andrew!
That your sternoclavicular joint which is strong, has a disc and ligamentous
reinforcement and you would probably remember the injury and pain in this
area, probably would give you pain with any forceful pushing also lifting
overhead.  This is only articulation that supports functional shoulder
complex  on the axial skeleton,so it is pretty important joint.
BTW to have e-mail adress like you do you probably had to be one of the
first aol subscribers?
