Swimming And Back Pain. Posted: 10-15-06 11:06am
I am a high school varsity swimmer in
germany, and I was wondering has anyone
ever experienced back and neck pain from
competitive swimming, and if so how did
you deal with it? Thanks for the help.

I used to swim alot and have back
problems. I am not a dr but sometimes it
can be brought on from stress. I still
have back problems and I am older now and
they say it is from degenerative disk
disease and degenerative joint
disease(somewhat meaning arthritis), you
might want to get a mri to see what might
be going on, talk to your dr and see what,
he/she reccomends. Keep us posted
good luck!

My gp has told me that swimming can be
very good.
But he said to go at my own pce.
If I was you I would contact your own
general practioner and see what he say or
your physiotherapist if you have one.
Good luck.
Get well soon with your back.
