i'm going on over 10 years of shoulder problems from bow hunting. i've had bad constant pain in my shoulder for 10 years straight! pain only gets better when i lay down. I finally had surgery back in december to implant a medical device that at least helps with the pain. "how long did it take me to heal" you ask? I wish I knew

my issue is very strange though, I've been examined by some of the best shoulder docs in the country and they don't know why i have the pain.

I also had elbow surgery in december and i'm just now feeling ok to shoot the bow again. i don't think my elbow problem is the same as yours though. I didn't have clicking, i had a pinched ulnar nerve (they moved my 'funny bone' nerve to the top of my elbow).

get it checked out and do what the dr.'s say!
