I was fine at swimming; got home it started to ache now it hurts to bend it or have any lateral motion. Ice and advil huh?
I think it's probably just a bit strained...let's hope...
Stud,
I was a state-level Breaststroker in Highschool. My senior year, my knees hurt so bad that I could not swim it in practice. However, when I raced, I did not feel the pain, probably mind over matter. Looking back, it probably was not the best thing for my knees, but I was still able to swim it and so far, 25 years later, my knees are still ok for breaststorke. I know what you mean by doing a dolphin kick, it just does not feel right. Good luck Rich, listen to your body.
