Fair enough. 8-12 weeks for NHS physio here. I think a specialist has to see you in 18? Could be a few months more

My physio has recommended sleeper stretch to me, much loved by specialist apparently. Google it :smile:

The doc had me doing similar at the clinic, but standing, obviously :smile:

Diagnostic, rather than therapeutic? Did it hurt?

That wasn't so bad, but he asked me to make a fist with my thumb sticking out, like a 'thumbs up' and to reach behind and try and touch my shoulder blade with the thumb. That bluddy hurt! My arm cramped up like you wouldn't believe.

I'm not getting as much shoulder pain as I was a few weeks ago, it's mainly just the tingling, sharp sensation down the outside of my arm now that I mentioned in my original post. I now sometimes forget it's there and then I'm reminded of it, now and then, when I get a twinge.

I'm just going to continue with stretches and the 'sleeper stretch' that you mentioned. I actually found a video online entitled 'Quick Stretches For Cyclists' or something. I'll post a link if and when I find it.
