I'd hate this to be my first post! Moreover, i knew this has been discussed many times before.. but the threads are so many it's hard to find what I want!
I am an amateur 34yr old swimmer doing 3 times a week training program for the last three months..
Eventually as i increased pace and program, i started having swimmer's shoulder pain.. I do more freestyle swimming and try to variate pace/prgram every while.. I do about one hour and some 2.5km per session with many combinations.. (hope my calculations are right!)
My question is:
1) should i quit for a while till the shoulder pain goes away
2) should i continue lightly and do shoulder exercises
3) is it necessary to see a doctor/..
Other comments really appreciated!
Thanks,

Speaking from personal experience, a good sports massage may help. I was experiencing shoulder pain so I went for a sports massage. The masseuse found knots around my scapulas. She worked on releasing those points, and the pain that I felt in my shoulder joints went away.
Worth consideration.
