Just wanted to share some information with my online swimming enthusiasts. After a month of "recovery" from my shoulder injury I was still not where I wanted to be (I am too impatient I know), so I went to see a PT yesterday. He did things to my arm/shoulder that I was certain would have my upper body in traction by the time the sun came up this AM. My premenition was to be incorrect as I feel fine this AM. I feel some muscle soreness from doing my cuff exercises with some threa-band but other than that I feel very good. I have decided to give my shoulder a week off of any pulling and stick to kicking workouts; talk about boring. Has anybody else ever received a trasndermal electrical transfer of anti-inflamatory? I got one yesterday and I am wondering how legit this practice is. I don't suspect that it is dangerous but I do question it's effectiveness. If I am not getting prodded with needles and surgical instruments I tend to think that something is not right. Perhaps I am opening a new door for myself.

Thanks Gull, I will keep your advice in mind. I am going to stick with the therapy for a few weeks anyhow and work towards improvment. If I can develop more ROM in a pain free fashion then I will slowly work back into swimming. I guess one positive thing from all of this is that my legs will be incredibly strong from all of the kicking that I am doing.
