Last january I was forced to takes 2 weeks off from the pool due to some upper back/neck pain. A few changes like chest stretching and ergonomics at work seemed to resolve the problem. Now, I have a muscle tighness to a point that it actually pulls my shoulders toward my ears with a pain that radiates to my elbows. I can not swim at all right now. It's hard to determine what caused it, maybe my new medicine ball workout...who knows.
Anyway, Has anyone gone through this? What did you do to get rid of it? I'm headed to get a shot of butorphanol so i can at least concentrate on something rather than pain. The shot sucks because it kills todays run workouts. I've read a lot of the previus posts and didn't see much help. :cane:

My wife is a massage therapist, she worked it over and it felt fine for a few hours. I just went to the doc who gave me ibuprofen, musle relaxer, and a pain killer...all very mild but, together i'm hoping it will be Super relief.
problem is that i'm out of the water for a few days, then i go on vataion for a week. that means in 14 days i will only have 2 workouts totaling aboy 6000 yds. this is not good. :badday:
