Don’t forget about the importance of hydration! Dehydration can lead to muscle cramps, which might worsen your pain after swinging.

I’ve had left side pain after my golf swing before! It’s crucial to rest for at least a week, but gentle stretching can help. I recommend seeing a physiotherapist if the pain lingers.

I totally agree! Listen to your body. Ice packs and gentle motions like shoulder rolls can work wonders too!

I had a similar issue and found that using a foam roller on my upper body really alleviated the discomfort. Have you tried that yet?

Hi everyone! What’s the average duration of pain you’d say is too long? I’m unsure when I should worry.

If the pain lasts more than two weeks, it’s wise to consult a medical professional. Don’t wait too long!
Rest is good, but don’t forget about strengthening! Exercises like single-arm rows can help if done right. Just avoid any movements that trigger pain!
Supportive tips here! I’d recommend seeing a doc before getting back on the course. You don’t want this to become a chronic issue.
But do gentle stretches first! Balance is key, or you’ll end up worse. We want you back on the course soon!
I can’t help but joke that my golf swing itself should come with a warning label! Anyone else feel cursed when they swing?

So true! But in all seriousness, just take it easy for now and check in with a specialist as needed.
