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 would disagree on the shoulder only limitation for a surgeon. I have an orthopedic surgeon who only does shoulders and knees and he is terrific. He's done one each for me. Very convenient.
That is good to know. I guess I meant that they don't do one every now and then. As long as they do them regularly then they will be great. I have some friends who just go the nearest surgeon to do their op and it didn't work out too well. The more of your injury they have seen the better in my opinion. Glad to hear your shoulders are now solid.:)
