It's always after about 1½ hours of driving, on long journeys, that my right shoulder starts to really ache, and I don't really know why, but it gets quite painful which isn't so good especially if I've got no one to take over from me. Anyone got any suggestions why this is and how I can avoid it?
Answer:
It's just RSI. I get a similar thing in my elbow when I'm on long drives too.
Just try to remember to move positions regularly. Swap which hand you have on the wheel, rest your elbow on your window frame etc. And take regular breaks each 2 hrs and have a stretch!
Answer:
It's the position that you’re holding your shoulder in - try adjusting your steering wheel (if you can ) -or repositioning your arm - if you have an arm rest - you could place a folded towel or small pillow on it to raise you arm(shoulder) - Try to find other ways to reposition your body - maybe even a lumbar support will bring you a little closer to the steering wheel.And get out your car for a few minutes and stretch your arm/shoulder and flex your spine every hour or so -
Answer:
how strange i get exactly the same, and with me it's always the right shoulder to. I also assumed it was just because my shoulder was in the same position for so long….but its really uncomfortable isn't it.

Answer:
Try holding a heavy book with your arms stretched right out for a hour a day, it will not cure your shoulder, but the exercise will make them stronger.
