Looking for some advice on a shoulder problem. I just recently increased my yardage from 6000-8000 per week to 11,000 per week. I was doing some breaststroke pull with paddles and the next day right shoulder was hurting a bit. It hurts quite a bit when I move through internal rotation so I think it is a rotator cuff/anterior deltoid. Any advice on rehabing? Do I stop training, or just back off?
Everyone, thanks so much for the advice. I know I definitely bumped up the yardage too much to be safe here the last few weeks, but I just made plans to go to YMCA Masters Nationals, so I wanted train harder. I guess at 31 I can't jump in as fast.
From what I have read, it looks like I should swim if it doesn't hurt, backing off a bit in yardage, kick to my hearts content, go to practice, stop the paddles at least until I am pain free (maybe no paddles for *** at all for a good while) and in better shape, keep going to practice, do exercises for the rotator cuff/shoulder.
Thanks again for the huge response. I was pretty bummed about the setback, but the response made me feel less alone in the process.
