    Astrid replied to the topic Are you in pain? in the forum Living With ALS 1 year, 11 months ago

    I have had a lot of pain due to muscle weakness of my left shoulder. My arm is too heavy for my sholder muscles and because of lack of movement iT became more painfull. I have a good therapist who gives me advice about range of motions. And iT works for me.
