All of a sudden I get home from the pool last week and it feels like someone put a knife inside my right shoulder blade. Pain has still not gone away, despite backing off swimming (and using fins), ice, PT (which actually did help - stim & ulta), and stretching.
Has anyone had this before?
I have been swimming for a long time, had lots of various aches and pains, but this is a first!
Thanks!!!:

Yep. As I developed a weird twist in my swim technique to shift the load away from a semi-painful r/c, I ended up w/pain about where you describe. PT said it was infraspinatus.
GL on the shoulder rehab journey. I'm there too.
Reaching for aspirin now ...
Thanks for your comments.
After some stretching (and Advil), I am off to the pool (with my fins!).
My PT told me to ice right after......

PS - Your geographies are interesting to me. Although I now live in Iowa City, I was raised on LI (West Hempstead) and my older daughter is a UVA Double Hoo!
