The problem comes into play when tangling with fish the size these rods are made for: you end up using both hands on the rod. It's actually my left shoulder that has been on the operating table too many times, the right one is OK....for now!
Incident 1: slipped badly on a boat with no nonskid in the fresh Awl-Grip paint.
Incident 2: prolonged battle with blue marlin with bad (left) arm holding the rod the whole time - four hours to be exact.
Incident 3: slipped on ice, carrying 90# chain, and fell on bad shoulder, was in surgery 16 hours later.
If I might suggest - do not trash your shoulder. Pick any joint you want, but try not to mess up a shoulder, they are never the same again, no matter how much carbon fiber they bolt inside of you during surgery.
