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.
Do you have a good chiropractor who could take a look at it?
I wanted to suggest this (as I am a Chrio) but was afraid, since the post the other day chiro v PT.
I would also stronly advise visiting a Chiro - you will most likely be referred for imaging, but can begin pain management (acupuncture is available is great) as well as tissue healing activities.
Whatever you did, it didn't happen as a result of lack of PAIN KILLERS ans MUSCLE RELAXERS! Your treatment will be expedited going straight to a Chiro, vs referral city through the MD grapevine.
(Nothing against MD's AT ALL....just able to work alot faster) :wiggle:
Yes!!
I love my chiro/ART doc. He diagnosed the tearing in the labrum when my ortho did not (from sclerotogenous pain I was having in my trap area). ART helped pretty quickly. I never stopped swimming or competing either. Plus, if it's a muscle issue not a tear, ART docs are really good with soft tissue work.
