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.

  • Get a good evaluation from a PT.  Not sure where you are located.  Happy to help. arlette@ageupwell.com

  • Arlette, I saw your post and am hoping you might be able to help me find a physical therapist in the Marin area who can help me with shoulder issues. I'm 70, have been a recreational swimmer all my life but a few years back started swimming laps. I typically swim a mile, 3 or 4 times a week. Recently had an orthopedic doctor prescribe PT for me and have been asking fellow swimmers, including our swim coach at Marin Aquatic Masters, but so far no luck. Incidentally, I graduated from UCSB in 1975; fond memories of a beautiful place!
