Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Dominos: Holding or bracing one part of the body can lead to temporary imbalance in another part, a little like dominos moving down the line. Please see your doc to get the shoulder taken care of and the rest will likely fall into place. Peace and good health.
