[|Human|] Hello, I have been experiencing severe pain in my shoulders from swimming and I don t know what the cause is. I have seen a physical therapist and sports doctor and the advice and excercises didn t help. About 30minutes into practice, I will have severe pain in my left shoulder and I would stop and stretch it out and keep going. This will lead to numbness in the forearm and fingers or pain for days after if I continue swimming (My coach is aware of this). Ice does help but the injury is definitely still there. I have practice for 12hours a week in the water and 3outside so is that over exercising with the injury? And should I go see a surgeon? Thanks
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for your query. The symptoms you have described are more likely to be symptoms of muscles strain. To get relief from the pain and for quick healing:1. Do hot fomentation at the site.2. Apply local anti-inflammatory gel 2-3 times a day.3. Take anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. 4. Do not lift weight or try to do exercise that involve painful muscles. Give proper time to heal. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
