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,

I started the calf exercises with a 5kg weight.. twice per day.. the muscles affected with pain really react to these exercises and heat up as i go on!
I have reduced the swimming to less powerful strokes but longer time.. It's working my shoulder and sockets are hurting less now..
I hope these exercises will take away the pain completely soon..
