Freestyle works the best for me. Breaststroke stresses it a little more and I can feel it. I have cancelled my surgery twice and I am so thankful that I did. It has been about 2 years and I feel great. It is still painful to sleep on my bad shoulder, but hey it's better than surgery! Good luck with it.kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08838103329838184258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942366064716917702.post-46442234477994284872008-12-17T22:40:00.000-08:002008-12-17T22:40:00.000-08:00I found your blog on 209Mike's blog.

My blog report on the event also sports a photo of JD. ;)<BR/>And one more thing -- I have an aweful pain on top of my right shoulder that I was contributing to my hydration pack. It's really aching today and what do you know, I find your blog.

But I discontinued my gym membership when I embraced running more fully, so it's pushups and other such exercises when I can get them in. The nice thing though, is my son is greatly amused when I include him, and his laughter is like slavedriver whip. I ought to at least do yoga like..more than once a lifetime too.Baldwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00267565460426366034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942366064716917702.post-7884959052804652422008-12-16T20:25:00.000-08:002008-12-16T20:25:00.000-08:00The shoulder is a weak joint.

It was probably the most painful thing i have ever experienced. I have dislocated it about about 7 or 8 times since. It sucks because i cant do anything anymore. I can't even through a baseball without running the risk of dislocating it again. I geuss having this problem is a blessing in disguise because I just focus on running now.bagdaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03198999005296848500noreply@blogger.com
