I wish it was because that can be quickly remedied. The doctor seems to think that I have a loose/torn piece of cartilage that is causing the popping and clicking and is probably also causing the discomfort by contacting a nerve. My guess is that this happened back in my weightlifting days a few years ago. The swimming has just aggravated the problem. He has ordered an MRI and based upon those results I may see an orthopaedist for surgery. Until we know more I was advised to lay off the swimming to reduce the damage done to my shoulder. Further damage might warrant much more extensive means of repair. This is the ****tiest day of my year without question. I am trying to convince myself that several months out of the pool will be okay but as with everything else today, I have not been succesful.

I'm really sorry to hear about your shoulder. That's horrible. Hopefully you won't have to have surgery and you'll be back in the pool in no time. Best of luck!

I am hoping for the no surgery route as well. Maybe the MRI will look good and just a week's rest will get me back in the water. No more excessive stretching for me.
