I have yet to get an appt. with my ortho so far but I am going to give the pool a shot tonight. My shoulder is feeling pretty darn good and the popping is much more rare. I should add that the popping is not painful and seems to be pretty close to the level of popping that I experienced before the injury. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I am going to take it easy and not try to replicate my pre-injury times or endurance. I think my goal will be to swim whatever is comfortable, not to exceed 400 yards. If I still feel good for the next few days I will up the ante a bit. Anybody have any input? Gull80? You seem to be pretty enlightened about injured swimmers. Thanks.

Okay, so I went swimming last night and covered about 350 yards. Interestingly enough, my shoulder was actually pain free. However, I noticed a new pain just below my tricep and just before my elbow. Not a sharp pain but just a dull ache that was annoying enough to alter my stroke. Any ideas what THIS could be? I am starting to feel like my body is just falling apart! Anyhow, I don't feel any worse for the wear this morning so I am going to take today off from the pool and go see my ortho tomorrow. I am optimistic that after a week or so of easing back into it I will be back at full speed again.
