Deltoid Sprain?

I think my left deltoid got sprained. Not severe, since this happened late last week and I've been swimming almost everyday. But it does bother me while I'm doing other things. Is this a fairly common injury? How long would it take for it to go away? Thank you in advance.

  • From what I have learned about anatomy and injuries, very rarely does one sprain a deltoid. A sprain occurs when you overstretch a ligament. A strain occurs when you overstretch a muscle. Chances are, it is actually pain from your rotator cuff (the tendons insert under the deltoid). I would get it checked out.
