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.

Glad to hear it! I had a similar experience when I was 16 - swimming about a million yards a week for the 10th year in a row, and wound up with excrutiating low bacak pain. MD said it was a strain and sent me to PT. Was out of the water for several weeks in and off with no improvement. I was finally convinced to see a DC by a family friend, and was about 80% after a few treatments.
Turned out it was actually a degenerative condition from swimming, and was underdiagnosed by my PCP.
Glad to hear you have a great Doctor!!
