Since 3 weeks I'm suffering of a shoulder pain. It's not really painfull, but when it comes out to gym class for example, I may have to do some push-ups and then it hurts.
The shoulder that hurts is on the arm I use for SI while unicycling (I use left arm for seat out and right arm for seat in)
As anyone ever had a similar experience?

I'm a butcher, and it took me like 10 minutes to get one nub off my luna.
Same thing here, I didn't start noticing it until I stretched my arm after a ride and suddenly my whole arm was numb. Its not a really bad pain but its just a really really unpleasant one. I think its just a pulled muscle in the top of my shoulder. I'm taking a week and a bit off until I get my uni's back from the shop and I'm hoping it should be better by that time.
I've got it too. It's been hurting for almost a year now (almost as long as I've been riding). It is also my seat holding shoulder and really started hurting when I was learning SIF riding. I'm sure mine is compounded by lugging around my 40 lb 2 year old all day. It really hurts if I bail forward landing on my hands and knees, almost unbearable. I've done 6 months of PT and been to the shoulder doc several times and have decided to just live with it. I'm just too active to be able to not do anything that involves my shoulder.
I have also had this as alot of people will have.I found that i would usually pull a muscle right down my shoulder blade if i do too much hopping in one day.I dont get it as much now and i have tried to change my technique so that i dont wrench the seat so much.Try to change your technique so that you flow more with hops si or sif.It helped me so hopefully it will help you.
I have old shoulders that have had a fair bit os surgery, plus three dislocations (forget hang gliding, stick with unicycling - the crashes aren't so bad).
I find that the action of pulling up as I climb has to be combined at some point with an inward rotation while still under some load. I suspect that that is what gives me grief at the shoulder and further down the arm from the resulting pressure on nerve.
But I gotta keep practicing that freemount, no matter what. 🙄
