I <em>thought<\/em> I heard it *pop*, but then again, I yelled &#8220;OW&#8221; pretty loud, so it&#8217;s hard to say &#8211; I don&#8217;t really remember.  But, it did hurt.  A team mate thankfully drove me to a clinic, where the doctor didn&#8217;t have anything particularly bad to say.  Another good sign is that I got ice on it pretty fast.  <\/p>\n<p>So, now it&#8217;s just pretty sore &#8211; I don&#8217;t have full range of movement but I am doing range-of-motion exercises to keep it from getting stiff, and it doesn&#8217;t feel that bad.  I had previously injured my <em>right<\/em> shoulder last year, so I had been doing shoulder exercises with weights to strengthen them to prevent this sort of injury &#8211; though I did come down pretty hard on it, and the doctor seems to have thought it could have been a lot worse if I had had less muscle there.  So, maybe the training did help.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m looking forward to getting better slowly.  Haven&#8217;t been able to run for the time being because of the shoulder, but going up stairs doesn&#8217;t hurt.  There&#8217;s a building on campus that is 12 stories from top to bottom, and I&#8217;ve taken to climbing that a few times to stay fresh.  I&#8217;m hoping to be able to get up to five times consecutively. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Wednesday, while playing ultimate, I sprained my shoulder in an unfortunate situation &#8211; I went for a dive for a disc, got bumped by another player, and came down a little hard on my left shoulder.
