People relate body pain to emotion. When complaining about my right shoulder this past week I have gotten multiple explanations from several people. But one person said something today that stuck. One side of your body is your mothers side and the other your father. The minute he said that, I understood.

Our bodies are smart. Don't take them for granted. Take care of yourself and they will respond. Your body is not just flesh bones and muscle, it is a living breathing part of you just like your brain and heart. Just because it is easier to relate to symbols (brain-thought, heart-feelings), we sometimes forget that hand and palms and wrists are so intimate and full of emotion.
