I injured my shoulder, and would like to get back to diving, and I'd like to educate myself a bit on the relationship between diving and the healing process, in particular: (a) how diving might affect healing, (b) how the presence of swollen or damaged tissue affects decompression, and how one might account for that when planning the dive. I'd be grateful for any comments or pointers. Some things are pretty obvious: follow doctors' recommendations, take into account the additional risk of having reduced strength and range of movement, etc. Some other things might be less obvious, and it's mostly those that I'm hoping to find out about... Disclaimer: yes, I'm seeking advice on an internet forum, and no, I'm not using ScubaBoard as a substitute for professional treatment. The purpose of this post is mostly to satisfy my intellectual curiosity, and to help me better appreciate the extent of my ignorance. Thanks!
