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,

My sister Margaret had the tendon flipover the shoulder and everything was torn away, they told her she would never swim again. That was before she became a marathon swimmer. They operated but told her to never swim freestyle. I worked with her on her stroke so we could eliminate her pain walla she became one of the top marathon swimmers in the proffessional circuit.
