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,

Over Thanksgiving weekend I hurt my rt shoulder. I ws taking norflex and a pain pill. the tight pain went away but I ws having other weird pains throughout my shoulder. My doc suggested I go to the orht to see what he thought. He said shots & then if not okay by yesterday, surgery.
Yesterday, I went to a chiropractor for the first time in my life. I was really amazed at how good I felt when I went swimming yeaterday afternoon. I also feel like I'm standing much taller.
