Subject: Any ideas for Shoulder/Neck/Head Pain?
I believe this is caused from biking so much too soon. Or, it could be the swimming. I am new to the sport and have been training 3-4 weeks and over the last 3-4 days my neck and shoulders are extremely tight and I am having shooting pains in the left side of my head.

Wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if so what is a good cure? massage, chiropratctor, stretching, rest, etc.?

I took the day off today but am feeling guilty :-)

Right now I'd say go get a real good sports massage. Ask around to see who is good. Sounds like your body was telling you it needed a day off.

I agree sports massage and really good stretching.
A good sports massuer should be able to teach you the right stretches for the pain you are having.

don't feel guilty you have to listen to your body..
