Ok...Here's the short verison of the lead up to my question. I dislocated, well suplexed (popped out but popped in on it's own), my shoulder about a month ago when I was doing butterfly (I promise my form has improved since then:D ). I took a week off from swimming, work and everything and my shoulder was for the most part healed, it only bothers me every once in a while..mostlyat work. But today when I was swimming, it kinda started grinding and hurting when I started my recovery on all my strokes. Any ideas about what to do? Drills to make it stronger or anything would be good. When I do dryland I spend some time focusing on making it stronger...benchpress and such, so it should be getting stronger, so I was surprised when it hurt today. Maybe it's the changing weather;). Im gonna let it rest for a day or two and ice it regularly, but when I get back into the pool it would be nice to not have this problem again. Thanx for your help!!

popping are NEVER a good sign in your shoulder. My recommendation (after having had 6 shoulder surgeries)---see a doctor!!!!
The fact that you dislocated your shoulder (and it popped back in) is an indication that something isn't right. The fact that you took off a month and it's still bothering you--tells me that you've got a major problem brewing.
Bench presses and the like WON'T make the shoulder stronger. There is a booklet (The 9 minute (or it may be 7 minute) rotator cuff solution that gives specific exercises for rotator cuff problems. That's the 4 muscles that are holding your shoulder together AND are (probably) what you've injured.
If you HAVE injured your shoulder--butterfly is NOT a stroke you should be doing!!!! It's the hardest stroke on the shoulder.
Do a search on here--there have been ALOT of people writing on shoulder problems over the past months.
