If you've really injured it you may want to let it heal first. I know you want to get back on the mat (you could always watch while you heal, you'd be surprised what you can learn like that). I'd been doing aikido for a little less than a month when I seperated the AC join in my right shoulder trying to do rolls on an unpadded floor. I was stupid and didn't rest it and kept re-injuring it so it could never heal. I lived with it for almost six months. When I couldn't take it anymore and finally went to the doctor I was told I'd have to immobilze it...for a week. A WEEK! If I hadn't been pig headed from the start I wouldn't have had to put up with the pain for so long. Ok, I'm off my soapbox now
Enjoy your training,
Bronson
