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.

First off- no offense to ANYONE here - if anyone happens to be an MD/DO, I think you understand the delay and rigamarole of referrals and such. I am in no way trying to ruffle any feathers
Many DO's practice without performing manipulations, as their education does not have a really heavy focus, although I used to practice with a DO that was an excellent adjustor. He didn't do it often. DO's prescribe like MD's, but the one's I've encountered are a little more (dare I say) open-minded about conservative medicine in general.
Not trying to fuel anything, it's just a simple fact that walking into your PCP's office will not typically result in same day treatment, except the Rx, which does little in the way of tissue healing.
There is certainly a place for ALL types of medicine given different scenarios/conditions, and I would never say otherwise. Just trying to support my profession :)
