Clavicular Humeroscapular (Stiff and Lame Shoulder)

The shoulders carry our loads, so a stiff, bowed shoulder is read as bending under a weight felt as too much to bear alone. The pattern is carrying not only one's own problems but, unjustly, the burden of everyone around - "their happiness is in my hands" - while staying constantly braced, on guard, expecting something to drop on one. Guilt about the past adds to the load. The short explanation's "feelings of carrying too much responsibility" is exactly this. Relief is described as setting down what is not one's to carry, letting others tend their own happiness, and beginning to take care of oneself.

Example from the findings: the bowed, stiff shoulder is read as bending under others' burdens taken on as one's own.
