Hi Im New
here
Ive started swimming a couple of weeks ago
so that means Im new in swimming in general (but i know how to swim//by that i mean i wont drown,,, but dont know a lot about swimming)
I m swimming frontcrawl mostly
dont swim much- because of my poor technique and breathing dificulties,,m, ***..still learning:)
but Im woried about one thing
Im geting "strange reactions in my shoulder/s
They "pop" a lot , sometimes even hurt a bit
but very uncomfortable
i ALWAYS had those popping/ cracking sounds in my shoulders
waaay back years before swimming 9 i have/had them in other joints...>>spine knee sometime.... when streching and warming up after rest etc)
but they have NEVEr been this much "distraction" so normaly im woried... I m starting to feel very unplesent
Like i said Im new
and to make long story short >>> swimming IS A MUST HAVE
because of other situation... my life depends on it
Any Info, Advice?
Anything???
Thank you
Dorothyrde is right. You may need to seek a doctor's advice before you do anything else! You don't want to do permanent damage to your shoulder.
Payydro, I'm not a doctor but, I have had shoulder problems simillar to what you describe! It sounds like you have a muscle imbalance. Go to the USA Swimming site and search for shoulder exercises. They have some great ones on this site! I wish I had the link. These exercises strengthen the rotator cuff muscles in your shoulder that help hold your shoulder together in the right position. BUT....don't do these until you get checked out by a doctor. He may send you to physical therapy.....well worth the time to learn what is wrong and how to fix it before it becomes something chronic and permanent!
