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,

Some facts about my shoulders:
1) Pain is stable and controlled as I continue my regular swimming
2) Pain disappears and becomes non-exitant as I swim and only appears after an hour or so after swimming, till the next session every two days
3) I stopped training for four days and it has reduced trumendously but still there (no medication taken)
I am doing an MRI tomorrow to have a better understanding of what;s happening and make sure that there is no damage.. After which i shall be using more proper techniques as suggested above.. I'm sure that'll lead to more information also to anybody with the same experiences..
Will keep posting!
