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.
I second ourswimmer's admonition. Go see a pro.
I am just coming off a roughly 8-month hiatus caused by what turned out to be rotator cuff tendonitis (fortunately no tear, so no surgery). The initial symptom for me was pain where my deltoid inserts on the humerus. For about a month I figured I could swim through it. When I finally went to see an orthopedic surgeon I learned a new term, referred pain. Don't discount the pain you feel strictly based on its location.
