My second year in college marching with very heavy BBb silver sousas, I developed a very sore left shoulder with a knot on top. Don't recall exactly what the Dr said but I remember he called it a cist. (back in the days before MRI) He told me to keep the horn off the shoulder for a few weeks (not popular with director). I laid out for a couple of weeks, scammed the newest shoulder pad off of a senior and put additional padding under my uniform for games. All was well in a couple of months and did not ever return (even during drum corps). Don't know if this helps.
Good Luck,
Jim G
