My family doctor diagnosed my shoulder pain as an impingement. He shot an x-ray, and explained a gap between two bones was responsible for the pain. He'd give a referal to a surgeon if the pain grows worse. Has anyone else had this type of experience, or have any recommendations? I'm 40 years old now, and swam competitively for five years during school years. I've done a few open water events, and a couple triathlons. I'd settle for any lap swimming. I'm going to try using the "Combat Swimmer's Stroke" hoping it lessens the strain on my shoulder. (Unfortunately, my knees don't handle breaststroke's whip kick well.) Please share any advice on overcoming a shoulder impingement. As it stands right now, my future in the pool may be limited to just kicking with fins. I'm hoping to hear some great advice, what can you share?
