Can the physiology experts please help explain a shoulder "impingement"?
My frustruated interpretation is that it's not torn, not arthritis, but something ain't quite lined up correctly. I think I jammed it on a sprint finish and a few weeks off have not lessened the pain (arm raised 90 degrees laterally = ouch). Friend therapist says don't start anything remedial until the pain stops. Slowly going postal and gaining weight being out of the water.....
I have an appointment with an orthopedist who has a sports leaning but am interested in other's experiences, too.
Thanks,

I had a left shoulder scope 2 yrs ago, I had more pain pre op. I am having the Right shoulder done in 2 weeks. I am just so glad to see other swimmers with both sides done. I tend to overdo and not let my shoulders heal when tender. It is hard to get older. Thanks, and to all the swimmers with sore shoulder GOODLUCK.
