Jim, what is the treatment for scapular winging? What if the nerve doesn't "kick in"? Pain? You seem to be swimming very well despite it!
The ortho dude wanted me to stay out of the water and well, you know that's just not an option. I was scheduled for therapy but ended up not going due to the inconvenient times they were offering. I decided that the best thing for me was to just go kind of easy for a while, build up the other muscles in the area to compensate for the anterior serratus not working - that is what is "served" by the long thoracic - and see how things developed. There's no pain now because the other muscles have gotten with the program. The nerve's still palsied - they said 6 mos to 5 years - maybe. And maybe never.
