I've had some physical issues with a full-size guitar, causing me to buy a 3/4 size guitar. I came to realize they were related to some long-standing shoulder issues (limited movement and lots of pain). I'd previously tried getting relief from two different chiropractors, one of whom diagnosed a torn rotator cuff, and the other guessed arthritis.
Concerned that this would affect both my instrument playing and my ability to cast flies during the upcoming trout fishing season in WY, today I had X-rays at a local orthopaedic clinic, which revealed:
I was given cortisone shots in both shoulders, and hope there will be improvement in time for our upcoming stay in WY, in addition to being able to play a full-size guitar.

- Narrowing of the joint space and slight tearing of the rotator cuff in one shoulder.
- Some arthritis in a tendon in the other shoulder.
