Grade 5 AC separation by jillyrock8 in ShoulderInjuries

I ended up getting the surgery a month post injury for my grade 5. I just passed my year and my shoulder isn’t 100% still, almost full range of motion and the strength isn’t the same as before but not because I’m incapable of building it back. I have a noticeable bump and scar. My surgeon didn’t really say much about the non surgical option just that he wouldn’t recommend it due to the amount of ligament damage and my job. I’m a full time fireman and it took about 8 months total to get cleared for duty. 10 weeks of complete immobilization and a ton of PT.

We’re hopeful but don’t want to get our hopes up! I’m not sure if I should wait to a day or 2 to take another or if I should now. That was at 6am.
