https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/5810/pain-behind-shoulder-bladeAll 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 &amp; ulta), anden-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/78213?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 16 Nov 2007 10:51:03 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:28b88fd2-f065-4626-a6c4-f9b6f99efa0fRickThanks 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...... Rick 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!<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/78236?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 16 Nov 2007 06:47:24 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:8131585b-7e82-4bd6-a8b1-23129243ee61Former MemberIf it&#39;s what I think it is, there&#39;s not a whole lot to do besides rest it a bit. I get it from stress.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/78188?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 15 Nov 2007 08:32:31 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:4301f934-db18-45c5-b2ca-4e093518415brtoddSounds like a muscle pull. It should go away.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/78082?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 15 Nov 2007 07:00:46 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:0ed234d7-cf13-4b87-a6b0-5327be9ec7c9Former MemberYep. 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&#39;m there too. Reaching for aspirin now ...<div style="clear:both;"></div>
