For the past couple of months, my shoulder has been feeling "loose" or instable. I have some moderate pain and mostly the very odd feeling that it just is about to fall out of its socket. It usually feels okay while swimming but very bad afterwards. I've taken the past week off from swimming in the hopes that things would feel better, but no dice. I do have a call in to my doctor, but I've done some Googling around and it seems like it might be multi-directional instability of the shoulder. Does anyone have any experience with this? I am physically unable to participate in most other cardio (running, step aerobics, anything with any level of impact) so the idea of not being able to swim is very depressing.
everything points to my dysfunction being a direct result of my surgery and recovery. in that my muscles were not working correctly and i am suffeciently strong enough to overcome that with other muscle groups to still allow me to swim. well, to a certain point that the atrophy became so bad that i could not over compensate. none of my post-surgery rehab included anything that i can think that would have prevented this. most unfortunate for me.
from about 2:11 on in this video -> www.youtube.com/watch gives some good examples of what i have.
my brother is a PT (but does not live in the same city i do) and i sent him videos of my back in motion. he also works as a personal trainer in a gym. in the few days after he saw this video he tested his clients and most of the muscular men had issue where the women did not. no i am in the extreme area. where my neck is not the same on my bad side as it is on the good side. in a tshirt you can visably see the atrophy.
