Potential shoulder injury advice...

So, I was out playing Ultimate Frisbee this evening. I felt it pop when I threw a long backhand. It now hurts to lift my arm to the front. I am icing it 20 on and 20 off and took some Aleve. I guess I'll just have to wait until tomorrow to see how it feels, but I'm pretty sure it's injured. I have been training for Zones for 6 months now and I am not sure of how to feel. I'm angry with myself for going out to play Ultimate, I'm scared that I'm not going to be able to swim at Zones. Argggggh!:bitching::bitching::bitching::bitching::bitching::bitching::bitching::bitching::bitching: I will try to get an appointment with a shoulder guy on short notice. I'm hoping that some of you have some advice. I read the shoulder poll, so I know there are some of you with firsthand knowledge.

  • Not sure what a "pop" means. Could be slight tear or just a nasty strain from a ballistic movement. Go to the doc. To find a tear, you will need an arthrogram, not just a regular MRI though. Do you have a good chiropractor who could take a look at it? How do you feel this am? Any better? If you have more mobility and are not in hideous pain, you can do some drills and kicking at the pool.
