    PLS + "axial involvement" = pain

    Hi to all, Recognizing that I ask a lot of crazy questions here (and have my share of marginal ideas....;)), I thought I'd ask the following: Many of us develop hip, back, neck, shoulder, arm, and hand pain. We don't think of it this way, but over time, PLS has its way of adversely impacting...
