  • Thanks everyone I'm seeing my general practitioner to get a referral then it will take a couple of weeks to see the Ortho. I also have muscle pain and tightness on that side of my neck but will continue to rest, ice , and anti inflammatory ,also some massage for my neck.

The pain occurs on the catch (when my hand enters the water) and pull ( when I bring my hand through the water). my chiropractor advised exercises that work on my mid back region like rows and stretches for my pecs. I'm getting…

  • I just started the C25K program I run on the streets around my neighborhood and there.....I don't know the right word for it ...
