Hi PJGunner,

Thanks for the info. I have lumbar problems as well, but I have yet to experience anything as near as painful as shoulder pain. More often than not, typing aggravates my shoulders.

I hope you're able to reduce your pain with anti-inflammatory medication. Naproxen works for me when the pain is not that bad.

It's been a long time since I have fired a big game rifle. If I am able to shoot a big game rifle, I'll probably be limited to sighting it in, firing a few rounds now-and-then, and hunting.

I am going to take your advice. If my new .257 Roberts aggravates my shoulder, I will try a recoil pad.

Thanks again, PJHunter,
