Shoulder Massage

I have been having shoulder issues for months now. I'm not sure what exactly has caused them, but several things make the pain in my right shoulder worse, like feeding Elise, playing with Elise, putting Elise to sleep, bathing Elise, sewing, typing on the computer, scrapbooking,....you name it, basically it causes the pain in my shoulder to be worse. Logan is wonderful at helping with Elise when he can, and giving me a quick massage when he can. The other day, I was sitting in front of him on the floor, while he sat on the couch, and he reached down and started massaging my shoulders. Well, Elise usually comes quickly over when she feels that she might be being left out of something, and sure enough she came over very quickly and climbed into my lap. She gave me a hug, and then put her hands on my shoulders too. The next day, I was sitting on the floor and we were playing with toys. She climbed up to stand on my legs, and put her hands on my shoulders and started wiggling her fingers, in her version of a massage. I said, "oh, that feels so nice, thank you for the massage, for rubbing my shoulders", and she got a huge grin on her face. When I rub my shoulder, she rubs hers, and then I tell her that mommy's shoulder is hurting. She is so cute, and she has once or twice come over to give me a 'massage'. I feel so loved from this wonderfully caring little girl!!! And her Daddy too!!! Oh, and we're planning to get my shoulder checked out when I go for a physical in a couple months. Hopefully they don't tell me the only way to fix it is to stop using it...cause how can I possibly do that?
