Subject: Back to swimming after shoulder pain So I got back in the pool this morning after a 9 day break from swimming to let my shoulder pain recede. The pain hasn't gone away yet 100%, but it's getting there. I decided to try a few laps, and ended up swimming 2500 yards this morning.
Thing I noticed is that now, after swimming, I can make motions with my arm that I couldn't do just yesterday. Could swimming have actually helped recovery somewhat? Granted, I didn't work on speed, but I did try to have a good steady pace during each interval. Either way, does it make sense that it's feeling better after swimming than it has since the pain began? I can now wash my right arm with my left arm without feeling a 'click'/slight pain in my left shoulder. I'm happy with that. |
