Shoulder instability

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.

  • kicking with a board or kicking with your arms overhead (ie backstroke kick) or kicking with arms at the side? i would HIGHLY suggest no board!!! if backstroke then far apart with hands (i've done this for 3+ years now). or maybe just arms at side. today i had a sonagram guided injection into my right shoulder socket. very nicely done and not really any pain and i *** H A T E *** needles. if this works that means i probably need shoulder surgery again. if it doesnt it probably means i need neck or TOS surgery. can this crazy merry go round stop please? steve - with my 100 swiss francs
