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.

Just picked up my MRI results and I thought I would share the findings...bone marrow normal, labrum appears to be intact, attention to rotator cuff shows mild hyperintensity of the suprastinatus tendon but no evidence for edema within it, minimal edema about the acromioclavicular joint.
Impression:Minimal abnormalities MRI left shoulder.
1)Suspect low grade chronic tendinopathy, supraspinatus tendon.
2)Mild strain acromioclavicular joint.
I think this means that rest, ice, and NSAID's are the best treatment. Will find out for sure tomorrow at my ortho appt.
