Shoulder pain

OK. I never thought this would happen to me....blah blah. I went canoeing for a week and now I have serious shoulder pain. I don;t even want to think about the words "Rotator cuff". What masters swimmer would? But I need your help folks. I had to take six ibuprophen just to get to sleep last night. (Of course I swam 1400 easy yards on the shoulder just to see if it would hold up--STUPID!). I plan on resting the shoulder for one week, and then commence a return to swimming. What the heck else am I supposed to do? Does this injury sound familiar to anyone? Will it heal with rest?

  • kicking!!! nice idea. My shoulders have be down though. No streamline kicking on my back. I love this group. Great advice. Doctor says rotator cuff STRAIN--rest, ice, motrin (800 Mg every 6 hours) and Vicatin (at night) I have;t tried this yet...I hate meds. Last night had me up for an hour gritting my teeth so I may get it tonight. Nice work people!
