For the past couple of months, my shoulder has been feeling "loose" or instable. I have some moderate pain and mostly the very odd feeling that it just is about to fall out of its socket. It usually feels okay while swimming but very bad afterwards. I've taken the past week off from swimming in the hopes that things would feel better, but no dice. I do have a call in to my doctor, but I've done some Googling around and it seems like it might be multi-directional instability of the shoulder. Does anyone have any experience with this? I am physically unable to participate in most other cardio (running, step aerobics, anything with any level of impact) so the idea of not being able to swim is very depressing.

Okay, my PCP thinks it's bursitis of the AC joint. I will start PT in about 2 weeks (I'm going to be away for break). I have an NSAID regimen and I'm supposed to ice, ice, ice. She said I can still swim but to cut wayyyy back until I'm healed, mostly doing kicking. I can live with that if all it is is bursitis! I am slightly skeptical since I have been having the looseness feeling, but I'm going to give this a shot and see how it goes.
