Started on a 600

So despite the criticism and concern of you guys I went ahead and got the 600 as my first bike, and I’m in love!!!! While the learning curve is very much real and I can now see for myself that learning all the fundamentals would have probably been easier on a smaller bike I don’t think I could have made a better choice for myself honestly, I’m 3 months in and I love everything about it!! It’s def not for everyone and having my dirt bike experience def helped me along and obviously I’m still a beginner and have ALOT to learn and master still I’m finally comfortable and relaxed everytime I throw my leg over it and couldn’t be happier. Also I know I’m pretty early on and I can still reap the consequences of the road and the faster bike but I just wanted to share that I’m alive and well….. for now🤣 thank you everyone who interacted with my last post

Secondary shoulder impingement

Well I’m back lol so I recently had a post about my shoulder tendonitis and possible labrum tear and the difficulty in healing and whatnot and I’m still going through hell with that shoulder rn but feel like I’m icing forward to get answers however my left shoulder has gotten an “overuse” impingement for compensating for my already hurt shoulder, I’ve mentioned it to both my PT and ortho specialist and they just brush it off and called it tendonitis and prescribed me more PT I can’t afford and I’m just wondering if anyone else has went through something like this? If so please lmk how it went and what recovery was like, my main concern is right shoulder is the initially hurt one with possible labrum tear and tendonitis and it just all in all doesn’t feel as strong and aches like a mf at night and after activity like PT or just using it normally throughout the day the left one feels completely different and after a very dismissive and brief exam they diagnosed my left one as tendonitis but it feels different from the right as I said before, if I try to move my arm straight out to the side it feels like it catches and hurts and there’s a classic “painful arc” but no other movements really bug it and I can even move my arm out to the side if I simply rotate my arm bone if that makes sense so I feel it’s more an impingement than just tendonitis like my right, just wondering if there’s any excersices or treatments that worked for you guys thanks in advance and sorry for the long spill and scattered typing

Not very superstitious but recent activity is making me think

First and foremost I don’t really believe or really give attention to stuff like this much thought over the years so I’m just testing waters and seeing what’s up, hopefully you guys can give me some insight or just tell me this stuff is all normal coincidence and this is going to seem like movie bullshit but here goes
So I’ve lived w my grandfather for the passed three years and havnt experienced anything out of norm in that time span, he’s lived in this condo for 25 years and in that 25 years since the day he moved in he’s had a cross blessed by someone in Jerusalem or something of the sort hanging on the wall outside my room, two days ago he came out of his room which is facing my room and the cross is in between and it was mysteriously off the wall and broken in two, he doesn’t believe in this type of stuff either so we kinda just made a ghost joke laughed it off and moved on we have since then we’ve glued it back together and put it back up, now my gf who comes and stays the night has said before that she gets jump scared when she rounds to the corner to go into my room bc she feels/thinks she sees something but then it’s not there and once again, I laughed it off we joked but now
It has happened to me and it happens in the same spot in between me and my grandpas room where the cross is , also not sure if they’re related but I smoke weed to fall asleep and usually don’t have dreams but this passed week I’ve been having scary ass dreams not anything directly linked to paranormal activity or demmons but always unsettling and out of norm. Now I get that this is probably a coincidence but all these things happening so close together is giving me the heebiejeebies lol so have a field day Redditthanks in advance

Need advice or words of wisdom/encouragement

Well boys, I’m having a hell of a go at it lately, was messing around with one of my buddy’s and felt my shoulder kinda come out of place and it caused some sharp pain but once I stopped exerting it the sharp pain went away and just seemed off for the rest of the day and then I went to urgent care the next day they gave me the routine “rest it and take these NSAIDS” and come back if it still bugs you the feeling of it just seeming off turned into a dull ache that was keeping me awake and weakness in the shoulder so I went back and got an ortho referral, saw the ortho specialist and they assumed I have rotator cuff tendinitis and a “possible labrum tear” I got an xray but never received an MRI and they’ve sent me to PT, while the PT is having its ups and downs it overall seems like I’m on the right track to healing but it’s still too early and hard to tell HOWEVER I started developing a similar pain in my “good” shoulder due to overcompensating and doing all my daily activities (brushing teeth washing myself taking out the trash) and it’s only getting worse, idk I’m just looking for someone to tell me it’s gonna be ok or someone who’s gone through a similar process to know I’m not alone as this is without a doubt the most mentally taxing thing I’ve ever gone through. All the things I love in life pretty much require both of my arms (riding motorcycle going to work, working out etc etc) and it’s killing me that I’m now in the same boat with the other shoulder along with the one I’ve already hurt

I know trying to find people to ride w on Reddit is risky biz for sure but I figured why not test waters lol that being said any riders in MA willing to take a baby bird under their wing??? I grew up in the hills of PA and moved to MA and got my moto permit and I like keep to myself so I only know one other person that rides and he’s rarely available

Fair warning I’m brand new to traffic riding so you’ll have to bear with me the first couple rides🤣
