I have been diagnosed with a shoulder impingement and it is really hampering my plans to start working out again. I tried exercies and stretching, but it hasen't gotten any better. I was told surgury is an option, and I am seriously thinking about it. Has anyone gone through it and how did it change your swimming if at all?

  • I tried exercies and stretching, but it hasen't gotten any better You don't mention what exercises and what stretching you are doing. It is important to see a physical therapist to do the right exercises and the right stretching. I had a short bout of shoulder problems a few years ago and the stretches I was doing were making the situation worse. The proper things cleared it right up for me. Not to say it will work for you, but make sure of it.
