| Today in Shoulder News |
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush had a scan done on his painful left shoulder and was given a cortisone injection on Monday but said he was in "good shape" and could still hurl a baseball at high speed.
Read the rest of the story here.
Needless to say, as a fellow sufferer, I am excited that the president is bringing attention to the national problem of shoulder pain (and, more specifically, left shoulder pain!). I'm a little confused why the right-handed W would throw a baseball with his left hand, though. If I was going to throw a pitch, I'd definitely do it with my right arm.
I hope the President does for frozen shoulder what Stephen Colbert did for wrist injury awareness. |

You'd throw it with your right arm as a right-hander, sure...but part of the throwing motion involves the left arm, in balance: really, you throw with your whole body. At least you do if you're playing baseball.

Sue, I have mixed handedness. I naturally write left-handed, but throw, shoot hoops, and use scissors right-handed. It happens. Check out this list of mixed-handed famous people.
