I swam Wednesday night, and didn't notice anything wrong. Yesterday I woke up and don't remember noticing anything, then after I was at work awhile I noticed that I had difficulty putting on my jacket. It hurts my left shoulder. In the past, all my shoulder pain was a bursitis (spelling?) issue, and this is very different. Basically it is stiff/tender to lift from my side or to reach behind or forware. The pain seems to be at the top of my shoulder and straight down the arm. I know there are lots of folks with shoulder issues, so I'm wondering how I figure out what I've done. Thanks.

Hmm,this sounds all to familiar since I am going thru it right now. Pain in upper part of shoulder and the pain transfers down to my elbow. My physical therapist says there is no problem in the arm itself, just up in my rotator cuff and then the pain just transfers down. Could be a little tendonitis or in my case a lot, and in both shoulders.
Pop the advil, ice 15 minutes and if you got the stretch cords, use that to strengthen up the shoulder. I have a whole list of exercises to do from my P.T for the next 3 weeks.
Hope all goes well for you :-)
