Any advice for shoulder pain? Other than take off training

I have been swimming lots o yards and my shoulders are hurting. Last year I went to therapy, and got some good execizes that helped. Now the pain is in another area (Trapezius, teres major, rear deltoids). I know I am a bit OCD but I hate stopping training. Should I cut back on yards and increase weightlifting? What about deep tissue massage? Anyone have any thoughts?:confused: This is starting to get depressing.

I'd cut out the weights, not increase them. Stop the weights completely for a while. The massage would be helpful as well. Did you restart the exercises you got from therapy? You might start those up again too.
