Hi all,
I've been swimming regularly since June and have developed an annoying clicking sound in both shoulders. I've started doing some rotator cuff exercises witha theraband daily to try to alleviate this. Anyone else have experience with this?
Was hoping to move up to 4x per week with the swimming, it's a lot more fun than running. Went to the doc yesterday and was diagnosed with tendonitis in the long head of the biceps. Was told to not swim for a minimum of 2 weeks and then start physical therapy.
That's what doctors always say, "rest." I don't buy it. I had biceps tendonitis and rotator cuff tendontis last year. I didn't "rest" per se. I cut back and did some restorative swimming as needed. Resting rarely helps in the long term. The tendonitis or soreness often comes back once you hit the water again unless you start agonizingly slowly. I'd start doing some RC exercises pronto and get some massage or ART therapy. Just my view, of course. Find a doc, or PT or ART guy who can help you swim through it with caution. They do exist.
But how come swimming is more fun than running? At least in the non-summer months, you're outdoors when you're running. I had a very nice run today.
Geez, I hate opening a thread and seeing "Nor have I lost my mind" at the top of the page ....
