Upper joint of the arm (8)

I believe the answer is:

shoulder

(Other definitions for shoulder that I've seen before include "Bear (burden); joint" , "Edible part of lamb" , "Part of the body (that bears burdens?)" , "Between the neck and the upper arm (8)" , "Body part of a strange old usher" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
