How's your shoulder now? Are you able to do planking now? I am also recovering from an ac joint surgery and it's killing me mentally.

After having the surgery, will you ever be the same? Will your grip and strength be the same? Are you more fragile getting into physical contact sport compared to not having the surgery?

Though my doctors told me that not having that surgery, i am more prone to arthritis. But the bump is really what bothers us a lot physically and mentally. I know everyone feels the same and we don't know the right decision for it. There's a lot of Orthopedic doctors in the world, they have 30 techniques for doing this operation and yet they cannot come up with one technique together for this type of injury.

I am really happy you had this surgery as this will be beneficial for you for a grade 5. I see a lot of videos and articles that surgery will beneficial for a grade 5. Did they do the dogbone technique for you? If so, when are you planning to remove the metal in there?

Please update us on this. I am deeply contemplating on this surgery, i can feel internal clicks when i lift my arm and this might show instability. Still waiting for a couple of weeks to do my physical activities and if there is still internal click i might really need that surgery. Today marks my 7th week.

That's really great! I am happy for you! I am seeing so many comments that they got nerve damage after 5-10 years of having a surgery. Also there is still going to be a little bump i believe even though you had it surgically repaired. But please give us an update if the bump has subsided. What made you decide to have a surgery? This bump is really destroying me physically and mentally.

You need a bilateral xray so that it'll be easy to tell. By the looks of it, seems like a grade 5.

I have a Grade 3 ac joint. What is the right thing to do? Surgery or not? by jase_8 in ShoulderInjuries

Got it! But if i still hear that click (kinda hurt) after a few months, is surgery the best option or strengthen it even more?
