Hi, Everyone,
I did a three-mile race yesterday and felt fine for several hours afterwards. Then, I woke up from a nap feeling intense pain in my shoulder. My chiropractor says it's a displacement of my bicep tendon, complete with inflammation. Has anyone had any experience with this? It hurts like crazy and I very much hope it'll disappear before my mile-and-a-half swim this Sunday.
Try a search including shoulder, bicep, injury, etc and see what pops up.
But from non-medical anecdotical evidence, various activities either remedied, prevented, or eased swimming related shoulder pain for me. Those things are (with no significance to order):
1) FORM
2) Weight lifting
3) Incorporate a stretching program
4) Warm up prior to performing anything vigorous
And the things that made it worst were:
1) bad form
2) certain weight lifting exercises
3) certain stretching movements, approaches, or when (i.e., morning:eek:)
4) Swimming too much in volume in one set :nono:
