connected at the...shoulder?

For the first time in what seems like a long time, no beginners showed up to practice last night, so I got to train instead of teach for the whole two hours. Tanaka-sensei ran us through all 20 kata, and I was feeling ok, though a bit cludgy. Near the end, though, I felt a pinching/tweaking in my right shoulder, and my right elbow was a bit sore from over-extending, so I decided not to keep practicing for the last hour even though Niina-gosoke himself was watching over practice. No point in doing permanent damage, especially with the tricky state my right shoulder is in.
Then this morning I was trying to email BigTony in LA, but the mails kept bouncing back, so I called him. Turns out he thrashed his shoulder, too (surfing). So maybe we've got a psycho-sympathetic thing going on?
