Week 4 Blog Post10/22/2023 This week was what I thought was going to be a normal week. I finished playing my volleyball season at 100% without any problems. I rested my shoulder for the rest of the week after finishing the season. I went to the tournament this weekend and before I started playing it was completely fine. I did my rehab on my shoulder, put icy hot on it and biofreeze. I even took tylenol before the game. However, none of it seemed to help once I started throwing. After the first throw my shoulder popped. My shoulder continued to pop with every single ball I threw after the first initial throw. It was never a serve pop but one that was uncomfortable and that felt weird. It didn’t hurt my shoulder but it made me feel sore. I had full ROM but again it was a sore feeling so it felt like my shoulder was stretching or tight every time I tried moving it. I continued to play through the soreness and got through the first day of the tournament. I had a little trouble sleeping that night because my shoulder was sore so it was uncomfortable to lay on it. I woke up the next morning in pain. My shoulder was very stiff whenever I first woke up and I could barely move it. It wasn’t until I heated my shoulder with a heating pad and it popped then I got my full range of motion back that morning. I tried playing that morning even though my shoulder was in pain. It didn’t work too well for me. I tried throwing a ball from the outfield and my shoulder severely popped. It instantly brought tears into my eyes and after that I couldn’t throw a ball to save my life. Even at a short distance it hurt and I felt like it was impossible to actually get the ball in the air from one location to the other. I stopped playing for the rest of the day and was in so much pain just sitting in the dugout that I went home from the tournament early.
