whiny, oh so whiny

I'm having an owie day today. My shoulder aches pretty much every time I move my arm and if I move injudiciously it is really sore. Not OMG!PAIN hurts, on the bright side, but still, owie! Six months to a year, I was told, and it's been ten months. At this point I'm wondering if it will ever really stop hurting all the way. On the plus side, I do have full range of motion, so it's just pain, not actual impediment.
