I answered "symptoms serious enough to make you modify workouts and/or avoid strokes but does not sideline you." I hit significant shoulder pain, so first I stopped using a kickboard and switched to streamlined kicking on my back. That worked for a while but eventually caused a different, more severe shoulder/upper arm problem so I stopped doing kick sets longer than 50 yards. My shoulders have been generally fine in the few weeks since making that change. And since getting rid of the kickboard a couple months ago, I have had zero toys on the pool deck. :)
