Tired/sleepy this afternoon - not wanted to do anything. Mildly achy left shoulder. Crick in neck on left side been present for 2 weeks - still niggling away, restricting turning of head to left.

Made an appointment with the private physio for next Friday about my 'frozen' left shoulder. It needs sorting out and it's time I got some advice....
