it is a good thing that you have time....you are nit forced to rush it. my original thought was an mri but it would not heal like this if it were a torn ligament. I would see if murray state (that is your school right) has a training room. If so give the head trainer a call and see if he/she will let you come in and do some ice, and stim, followed by a little ultra sound to help break up any scar tissue. As far as your workload I would definately establish a full rom as soon as you feel ready. Whatever you do don't try to force it back into full action b/c if it is tendonitis it will stay the same and never feel better and in the long term just continually hold you back. You are a very elite athlete and you know exactly what you are doing....you will be fine i'm sure.
