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.

    Thanks to you all. I am glad I am not alone. I sometimes get frustrated with some health care professionals, all they say to do is stop exercizing and take these drugs. I will use your advice. You're probably a good techincal swimmer but just in case...make sure you're not crossing over on your front crawl...I was, and it was causing me a lot of pain which has gone away since I worked on not crossing over (I may still cross a bit but I think it's better). Good luck and remember ice is your friend.
