How I Feel / How I Wish I Felt

How I Feel / How I Wish I Felt as demonstrated by DeliveranceI seem to have done something to my shoulder* so typing has become painful. People are performing superhuman feats at the Olympics whilst looking sexy and I'm watching like a mangled corpse in my living room. Fun times. Alas, that means this week's Best Shot Special Edition focusing on both cinematography and a Best Costume choice (as tribute to Orry-Kelly with the release of the documentary "Women He Undressed") might be very late. I'm taking frequent long stretching breaks.
Best Shot Articles Elsewhere
• Jason Choi *first time participant* looks at the final sequence in An American in Paris (1951)
• I Want to Believe relates to Sugar Kane in Some Like it Hot (1959)
• Dancin' Dan on Marilyn's curves and despair in Some Like It Hot (1959)
• Allison Tooey looks at the musical Les Girls (1957)
• Timothy Brayton has a lot to say about the Best Picture winner An American in Paris (1951)
* by shoulder I obviously mean back (the pain likes to surprise me as to where it will show up) because I have a historically problematic one. When everyone is looking at Olympians like "what are those circular bruises on their bodies?" I'm all 'Oh, so and so's been cupping' because I've basically tried every treatment in my lifetime.

Oh dear. Hope you feel better soon. Maybe some Ben-Gay and whiskey?
Hope you feel better soon. Try to keep symmetrical. Lie flat on the floor for a few minutes with a pillow under your knees. It may help a bit.
I have had chronic back problems since I was 16 years old stemming from an auto accident.
When My back goes out, I have learned I need to go to bed for 2days and lie flat
On my back with my legs slightly raised. It usually helps immensely.
P.S. My wife helps out greatly!!!!
Good luck.
Legs raised inwardly.
Sorry about your shoulder/back! Hope you feel better soon!
I also come bearing a Best Shot/Best Costume pick for Les Girls, apparently the first to do so, too. Wonder if I'll have company.

Looking forward to seeing the various choices!
