About 3 months ago, I was diagnosed with a herniated C6-7 disc, not sure if it was aggravated by swimming fly/*** strokes. Available data suggests that PT is typically as effective as surgery over the long-run (a year or so), but I'm wondering: Does anyone know of someone who has had this or a similar injury and how they have been swimming since? I continue to have some mild weakness and fatigue in the triceps as a result of it, which definitely impacts my strokes. I'm hoping to hear that people have gone on to swim well after this type of injury and rehab.

no idea about that type of injury. But i broke my back pretty badly in may and i can swim fine now (though i'm dead slow(nothing to do with the back,) but i'm working on that). so i'm sure you'll be fine just take it easy for a while and good luck with it
