      I really love these Weshape videos but I had a very unpleasant with your company. I signed up for a one-year discount subscription in December but requested a cancellation after experiencing serious health issues after trying to do the test. After not getting a refund in one month I sent an email to customer service. I have just received an email saying that I will not get my $99.00 back because I did not EXPLICITLY REQUESTED a refund when I requested the cancellation.

      @@annettefournier9655 I have found that certain simple stretches can cause pain - hip bursitis, upper back slight soreness that causes my thumb on that side to go numb.
      So I eliminate them. It’s been interesting to see what has caused them.
      Of course it’s different for everyone. But trial and error.
      Bursitis is caused by something - I had “ tennis elbow “ for years - except it was really “ lifting diaper pail elbow “ - eventually went away after 12 years of diapers, but took years.
      Do you know what caused your bursitis - such as certain repetitive movements?

I spend 1 mile on the treadmill, at level 4 with half the mile at the largest incline. Squats with a 30-50 lb weights, plus curls with 20-25 pound weights.

      You can always get cortisone shots. A really great help for pain.

      The pain is pretty minor, can’t complain.
      But if it got worse and interfered with my ADL’s, I would definitely consider cortisone shots.
