In my case, I was having pain in the area where shoulder meets the arm - usually when doing overhead things (with weights); as well as chronic pain between the shoulder blades. I went to physical therapy (i.e., PT)…

I've been using PlantFusion protein powders (dairy free - gluten free - vegan - soy free); I usually get it from amazon. I found this has the most protein per scoop, and the least calories, and it tastes good; mixes well (not gritty).
