Inspired by Nancy's quest for swimmer shoulder data, I am trying the following poll. Pick the option that best describes your situation. Thanks.

I ended up after 20 years of competitive swimming I ended up with a significant rotator cuff injury. I had a major tear in a tendon, a tear in the cuff (labrum) and a tear in the bicep tendon. I waited too long for surgery and I think the pt only aggravated the problem.
I am finally swimming again after about 2 years. I only have about 95% range of motion back on my shoulder but I have no pain and I can swim for an hour or so about five times a week. I do not swim fly or backstroke anymore. I didn't think for a long time I'd ever get back in the pool but here I am!
