Swimmers and divers are human, which means that sometimes we get sick or injured enough to warrant a visit to the doctor’s office. What you thought was just a stubborn cold turns out to be a pretty severe sinus infection. That pain you’ve had in your shoulder for a couple of weeks turns out to be some serious tendonitis. That shortness of breath you’ve had? Your doctor tells you that it’s actually asthma that you didn’t know you had until now. A poor diagnosis throws anyone for a loop and you’re left feeling stuck, alone, and confused.
Here are some dos and don’ts for after you’ve gotten some bad news.
After you get the news from your doctor, trainer, physical therapist, etc., you should ask them questions. Get as much information as possible from the professional who originally diagnosed you. Ask about the treatment plan, limitations for workouts, and general plan of action for your recovery. Even if it seems like a silly question, ask it anyway. It’s better to sound a little silly for a second than to be confused about what is happening to your body. If your doctor is using a lot of technical terminology that you don’t understand, ask them to clarify in layman’s terms. Be proactive in getting information.
