I have tennis elbow in my left elbow. I’ve had it in my right elbow and had successful surgery a few years ago. While I’m swimming I feel no discomfort at all. I swim freestyle almost exclusively. I use resistance gloves as well with zero pain or discomfort. Outside of the pool I can barely lift a bottle of shampoo or my Diet Coke can without feel pain. My question is since I’m not feeling pain while swimming am I doing damage anyway? I took up swimming because of my elbows...weights are not a good idea for me. I don’t want to have to stop swimming now too. Thoughts?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
