Any resident doctors here?
Through some self diagnosis I have determined that I have an AC seperation. I have shoulder pain and a big bone poking up on just one shoulder, which based on google images is an AC seperation.
The question is this. I am pretty sure this is an old injury that healed on its own without proper treatment. (I didn't notice the bump until the last month or so). I plan on going to a doctor here in a week or two to see what he has to say.
My question to you SF doctors is, what can I expect for surgery? I expect that there will be surgery required since its already healed incorrectly.
And is there any real chance of serious damage if I wait till the fall? I am active in the summertime and I really don't want a lot of down time.
What I put up with right now is some shoulder pain when I lift or when I play volleyball, and with certain rainge of motions I have poping noises.
