I asked my doctor, back in... um... November, I think. She said that it's not rotator cuff, because I have no problem raising my arm. (It doesn't hurt when I do that.) She thought it was tendonitis. I was supposed to rest it. Which I did. Of course, as soon as it started feeling better, I started swimming again. I still think it's a swim technique thing. But I can't figure out what's wrong with the technique. (I'm not crossing midline. I don't think I'm overreaching....) Maybe I'm just getting old?

no, that can't be the case 

I'm pretty sure I have age on you (of course we can't be sure of that - lol)

I'm just thinking maybe it's time to see a specialist?  maybe????  

well, that's sort of like finding a specialist - LOL

probably a good start  

D001 - 2008-06-25 8:22 AM As the Challenge organizer, I get people asking me about revising goals due to injury. I evaluate the circumstances, and make a "ruling." But this month, I'm the one having problems. So I'm going to ask YOU guys what you think. Here's the deal: My shoulder has been bothering me when I swim. (This started back around October, because I went all out on a Swim Challenge. My doctor thought it was a tendinitis. However, it's never really gone away.)... I was pretty much OK at the beginning of the month. The shoulder was a little "tweaky" but I figured I'd be able to swim OK. However, for the last 2 weeks, it's been hurting pretty much nonstop. And swimming has been making it worse. It's bad enough that I've been taking ibuprofen for it. And I HATE taking pain-killers! The last time I swam was June 17th. And the shoulder has stayed pretty bad since then. (Although doing some yard work after that sure didn't help.) Stretching doesn't help. Working the opposing muscles hasn't seemed to help, either. So here are the options, the way I see it. Let me know which one you think I should do: 1) HTFU and just go swim until I hit the goal. 2) Prorate the goal. I swam for 17 days out of 30. So drop June 18-30, and reset the goal to 60% of the original value. 3) Drop the last 2 workouts that I had planned for this week, and revise the goal to leave these two workouts out. What do you guys think? I'll go with majority opinion. Dee

Go get an MRI!!! Sounds worse than it was before. RICE Rest, ICE, Compression (which is hard to do for a shoulder), Elevate... If it hurts lying down to sleep, try sleeping in a recliner if you have one, that is the elevate part for the shoulder.  Hope it feels better soon.

 Dee which side do your breath on? Which shoulder hurts compared to that?  If you bilateral breath then what I am thinking is not why you may get shoulder pain? 

I breath the opposite to you and my right shoulder gets a bit sore, that is when I start the bilat...

Well with my plantar fasciitus(I had a tear)  it wasn't until I stopped trying to run and bike that it got better.  I also took ibuprofen around the clock 400mg.  That is when I joined the swim challenge and rehabbed the foot now it is 98%.

I don't work for these guys but as fas as muscle recovery and fatigue and inflammation this stuff definitely works!!! You may need to take more of the Bio Astin with active inflammation. Check it out!

DEE:

TAKE CARE OF THAT SHOULDER -- OR I"LL HAVE TO FIND MY OWN CATTLE PROD TO SPUR YOU ALONG!   

Seriously, MRI or not, you need to get that checked out.   It'll only get worse if you don't!

GOOD JOB!!   You'l  Make All three -- I'm confident of that -  14 miles is nothhin!

(well, it ain't nothin, but you've still got 4 days to get it in.!

Got a swim in but not 45 min - 26 min because of a brain lapse in time calculation. grr.  still good though and could actually exceed in running/bike!

BTW - TNT is ahead of us right now - GO GECKO's! 

First family camping trip! Should be an interesting weekend! I should be finished all my goals by Monday, some will be over!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

If you are racing good luck and have fun!

GO GECKOS!
