and this is why i gave up the swimming until i got my SI joint back under control. i'd go in and say "ok, no breast stroke (kick)!" and then after a few laps i'd be feeling good and throw abandon to the wind, only to irritate my SI joint (with that kick i'm sure). its my favorite stroke, easiest on my upper back, free style is what tore my rotator cuff, its the hardest stroke for me to do and not hurt myself. oh i loved the pool, but between the torn rotator cuff, messed up thigh muscle or tendon or something due to a cold pool in the past, and the SI joint, just better for me to stay on solid ground, for now.......though if i can get the SI joint to stay settled down (drugs?) then maybe the pool once again, i have learned to never say never! smile
