Deltoid Sprain?

Supscapularis tendonopathy causes referred pain in the deltoid region. I've had it several times, especially when I started swimming as an adult 6 - 7 years ago. Two years ago, when I converted from a conventional straight elbow beginner pull to EVF technique, I also developed referred pain in both deltoid regions. EVF requires much more strength in the subscapularis muscles to drive the initial bent elbow catch. When I developed my EVF technique, I didn't develop tendonopathy. Instead, with my new catch, I regularly strained my subscapularis muscles. For a couple of months, every time I swam I had impressive next day muscle soreness. The muscles were tender and I had aching pain referred to the deltoid region. It resolved as my subscapularis muscles strengthened -- now nearly 3 times thicker than before I started EVF. I worked with an excellent physical therapist -- his skill and advice have helped me avoid a major rotator cuff injury. See a professional -- put yourself on the road to recovery.
