Help, I dislocated my shoulder about a week ago and am stuck in a sling for another two weeks. How soon will it take before I can get back in the water? If anyone has suggestions, tips, etc it would be appreciated. Thanks..
When I dislocated my shoulder a few years ago I got back in the water after 2 weeks kicking with my arms to my side with snorkel and being very careful about turns.Soon I was stroking with my good arm.It was about 6 wks before I was doing light sculling with my hurt arm.I don't remember how long it was before I could do real swimming with that arm,but go slowly and do what your Dr. and Physical Therapist recommend.
