Tennis Elbow & Shoulder Pain

Anyone ever found that a bout of tennis elbow makes there shoulder more susceptible to swimming related pain? My shoulder out of nowhere is hurting while I swim like it never has before (usually its just next day soreness...never while actually swimming). Everything else being equal, the only thing new is a nice case of tennis elbow. Now I'm wondering if that's irritating my shoulder somehow.

    when ever you have issues with ligamnets is usually a move related with out the use of the muscle, hence once it sets its extremly hard to heal (no blood flow). best advice is to find the proper the proper movemennt through tecnique, just like anthing else. I am sorry but i dont know anything about tennis. However, i do know about swimming. Swimmers shoulder due to weak muscles in the back. you bicep, lat, pec (among others) have the same point attachment. Best course of action is start strectching the front so that back muscles start to contract. the body will not allow to to be tight in two places ( think about bicep, tricep motion). once the front is lose then you can start to strengthen your back.
