I am suffering from tendinitis of my right shoulder and am having to take it easy, but I am fearful because my first meet in 15+ years is in a week and I really want to be 100% well to swim. Any suggestions on how to take care of my sholder while not completely compromising training??? And I do know I need to take a break from the pool to allow it to heal, but ugggggh! Any suggestions would be great!!

Thank You all for the input, I am planning on kick sessions for the next couple of weeks, but as for putting off the meet, I know I should, but probably will not. I am planning on making an appointment come Monday with my PCM but I know it will be in vain due to the great medical care offered aboard our military installation. I can always pray and hope I see a doctor willing to refer me out or really take the time to diagnose. Oh, and guess that answers the question if I have sought any medical attention thus far. I honestly thought the first sign of pain was just because I slept on it wrong, but it has persisted morning after morning and much like a shin splint, the pain subsides after ignoring for awhile during a workout so I thought no big deal. So the long and short is I am self-diagnosing, and will try to get it officially diagnosed, but in the meantime I will ice, kick, and take it easy with the arm work. Again thank you all for the advice!!
