So it has been 4 months since my shoulder injury and things seem to be getting better, until today. Last night I washed my wife's car for the first time since the injury (it's a Z71 Tahoe, it's supposed to be dirty!!) and I could feel that I was placing more stress than usual on my left shoulder. Last night it seemed to be a bit more sensitive than usual with an occasional throbbing. Today at the pool after about 500-600 yards I started to get the throbbing in my shoulder and upper arm again. I suspect that the car washing is to blame as it was probably too much work for my shoulder but how long should I allow this "healing" to carry on for until I ask my ortho to take the next step? I still get the clicking in both arms but I don't mind that too much since it is never accompanied by any pain. Does anybody have any words of wisdom?

You guys were right, it was no big deal. I hit the pool today and swam about 600 yards easy and pain free. After that I switched to some underwater body dophins. I guess I thought I was beyond any relapse of pain but I now realize that I need to be cautious for many months ahead.
