I did some pull-ups last week and injured the rhomboid on the left side of my back. I think it's the rhomboid, anyway. The pain seems to be from near the spine to around the left shoulder blade. I swam a workout immediately after that (last Thursday night) and got through it, but it's been painful since. I also tried to swim on Sunday, but gave up after 45 minutes. I could actually swim OK, but the pain was always there and I didn't want to make it worse. The pain was definitely worse after swimming.
Anyway, the pain is still there today. Should I still swim and just take it easy? Should I limit myself to kicking only, or maybe just stay out of the water entirely for a while? If anyone has dealt with this before I'd be curious what you did.
