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. If a doctor tells me to stop exercising, I usually don't go back to them. I love my ART guy, because his comment at the first appointment was something along the lines of "let's make sure we are in agreement here - the goal is to get you back up to the volume of exercise you were doing" BINGO! So when he told me to ease back and do a different form of exercise a few days while we worked out the kinks, I was okay with it. I knew I was going to be in business very quickly.
