not to scare you, but a friend on my old rugby team dislocated his shoulder, had it operated, they inserted a metal rod to connect it, and it didn't heal properly, had to redo operation. took 9 months to heal and permanently it was permanently damaged gg rugby.

moral of the story is make sure if you get surgery the doctor operating isn't a retard.

That sucks. Looks like it separated cleanly though so it should heal properly. Be glad you didn't ruin your synovial joint or rotator cuff - those never heal properly.

One handed StarCraft ... guess it could work right? I mean you use the right hand for the mouse so you should be good to go!

P.S. Hope it heals fast

If that's your ACjoint I had the same thing happen to me

Hurts like a bitch, but heals fine. Except there'll be a bump there for a long time (dunno if it goes away yet)

Ya joint injuries in general pretty awful - shoulder and knees get the reputation because they're huge and unstable so they get busted a lot

At least it's a clean break. I've had multiple broken bones and luckily they were also clean. It sucks even more balls if the break is like a shatter.

Sucks man. Doing something like that is almost guarantee for AC joint arthritis in the future. The clavicular/scapular/acromial ligaments are obviously torn so AC joint just rubs and you get arthritis in the future. Fun stuff.

Make sure you let it heal so that you won't have quicker degeneration.

Surgery may be a good idea depending on what you want to do in the future.

I can't believe they won't prescribe you anything for the pain.... looks pretty brutal. Hope you recover quickly and fully!

so i tried to take my shirt off last night.. i couldn't because the pain was so unbearable. my only goal today is to get this shirt off and get a new one on. i haven't slept with a shirt on since i was like 9

@mani i don't even want to shower until i'm healed up. it hurts so bad when i'm simply standing. pretty much everything but sitting hurts my shoulder right now

thx, kev! lol
