Im not sure how you feel about chiropractors. I frequently get shoulder pain from pinched nerves in my neck. I have had aching shoulder with pain radiating down to my elbow, quick adjustment and pain gone within a few hours. Something to look into. Mine always happened on overhead shoulder press, a slight imbalance from left side to right side and neck would go.

Yep
I broke my personal record on the Thursday just gone, Deadlift 5x5 with 200KG, Taken me a few years to work up to that but I felt beastly afterwards
Jesus well done... 5x5 deadlifts with 200kg is indeed beastly.
I thought I was good a few weeks ago when I managed to pull 170kg for a set of two. I do only weigh about 74kg though. ^_^

Well Just got up and weighed myself, Currently at roughly 100KG and around 10% bodyfat, This is my comfort zone.
Gonna make breakfast in 30 minutes but first it's 20 minutes of cardio followed by a shower, Breakfast, Client emails and then a few hours of chest training

Well at currently 10'ish percent bodyfat I finally made it, 21.3 inch biceps/triceps dry i.e no pump, Didn't even shoot for it on purpose, Just been training like a beast the last 12 months more so than previous years, Was just curious and measured ^_^

21.3inches? That's it?
I was that when I was 12^_^
In all seriousness that's impressive. I'm only 170ibs/77kg but my arms are 15inches. Not bad considering my weight and height i'd say. They look big but I know they only do because of my weight/height. They really aren't that big and certainly look puny compared to you lol
My only goal is 16inches. After that I don't care. I won't bother trying to catch up to you

Well this year I want to get a good head start on getting nice and cut for summer, Doing 40 minutes on my stationary bike in the morning as soon as I get up and 20 in the evening after work and training, Altogether doing roughly 104 miles per week with decent resistance, Need a new seat though, My ass has no padding so it is REALLY saw at the end of the cycle.
Should be around 200 pounds when I get super lean

Wish I could even hit 200 pounds lol
I aim for 185. I got a long way to go though. I was about 170 but got sick for about 2 week around Thanksgiving so I dropped down to 160. It took me 8 months to go from 160 to 170 yet only 14 days to lose it all. Kinda don't want to even try again

Get working on them glutes then!

You can't lose 10 pounds of muscle mass in 2 weeks, What you lost was likely a few pounds of muscle, Fat and water weight.
Any muscle you lost is easily put back on as the base is already there.

Luckily I have naturally big legs, I train my legs once per week for around an hour, They grow quick so I don't go stupid heavy on them but just enough to stay in proportion to my upper body
By "my ass has no padding" I mean it has very little bodyfat, I could crack a walnut with this thing

You'd be surprised how quickly your body can lose muscle. You start to lose strength in 2 weeks if you stopped working out(that is you completely stop and don't do any strength training).
But yes I did lose quite a bit of muscle because doing my previous workouts is considerably harder even now that I am fully recovered. I am almost back to my previous sick workouts though since as you said it's easier to regain muscle than to build it up.

I don't doubt you really did but you must have been seriously ill, Last time I lost considerable muscle mass was when I was in hospital for 4 weeks and didn't move and was only on a drip, Pancreatitis and a necrotic gallbladder FTW ^_^
