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.

My onset of pain was delayed by about 24 hours. I am also finding that my pain is going away and that every day brings improvement in my shoulder. At this rate I will be up and running again within the next 7-10 days. Now my problem is determining whether or not to get an MRI if I can manage to keep this problem under control.
