AC Joints SUCK.

So I got back from the Chiropractor today with some devastating news....

But before I tell you the news, I have to tell you what happened.

I was at swim practice about a month ago and I was doing a pulling set. I wasn't fully inshape yet and I grabbed a set of hand paddles. Big Mistake. I was just about to glide into the wall and I took one last stroke and I heard a huge "POP" and felt my whole shoulder move in a way that shoulder's aren't meant to move. I sat out the rest of practice and just stretched. I only went to one other practice and then I left on my cruise.

Monday (June 15), my mom took me to Dr. Rosquist (chiropractor) and he told me that I had just sprained my Rotating Cuff Tendon and that I'd be out for like 2 weeks at the most. Wrong.

Today, I went to a different chiropractor who was really good. (Don't get me wrong, Rosquist is amazing. He just wasn't as specialized in this injury as this other guy). He had spent like a year studying shoulders, elbows, ankles, arms, legs, and etc. So anyway, He did some tests on my shoulder and came up with the following diagnosis: My AC Joint is a complete wreck. I'm not allowed to lift my arm at all which means....No Swimming. I can't swim until my shoulder is better. This is devastating. He said it could take a few weeks at the LEAST.

Pray that I'll get better, please.
