However, I still get sore, e.g. after carrying shopping bags and using my handbag. I'm always careful and still not exercising or raising my arms much. Could carrying moderate weight jeopardise my results? I'm not in pain, more discomfort and it's gone the next day. I am hoping this is normal esp after exertion and on the dominant side. Am I overdoing it? When will this fade? No other symptoms - love my results.
