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.
i saw a 3rd orthopod yesterday.
on top of whatever is wrong with my shoulder socket, all of my additional symptoms say i also have TOS.

bonus for me!!!
and all of the range of motion strength tests showed that my doc is weak. ooops, um, i mean that i am not weak :D
i am to get an injection of moose snot in my shoulder joint with sonagram guidance next thrusday and then wait till may 13th.
i could have been chewing advil like candy and killing my liver and gone to Indy. oh well. it's only 1 arm, i've got another.

Ohhh noooo! :bighug: You have my sympathy- and, empathy; been there, done that. It was not swimming related, but I had surgery for my TOS in 2003, long before I returned to swimming in 2010 after 31 years off. Swimdoc also had surgery for his TOS last year and is back in the pool. He is also in Texas (Houston), so you may want to send him a PM.
Good luck!
