Have any of you ladies or lurking guys had a separated shoulder? I did a thread search and found a good one, but thought I'd start a post to see if anyone has any more helpful information.
Anyway, separated my shoulder on Monday on the Whistler DH--tried to go too fast down a rock face, buckled over a little drop, and went over the bars. Had my shoulder armor on, but still tweaked my shoulder (AC joint).
My AC-joint bump on the distal end of my right collarbone is slightly more prominent than my left. I'm trying to figure out if its a grade I or II separation. I have full ROM if I move my arm carefully, but it hurts to push out. The doc didn't know if it was a grade I or II.
I guess I'll see how things go over the next few weeks, but just wondering if anyone else has experience with this same injury. I'm hoping that it will magically go away and I'll be able to ride again in 3 weeks.
