This was a really great video. A few things I'm noticing about this sort of injury - 1. It often goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. I see that a lot of folks have experience walking into a doctor's office with this problem, and not getting the proper care they need 2. It's something that you can come back from, with the proper rehabilitation. My experience: I got a type 2 separation on my left side from football, and a type 1 from fighting practice (I fell wrong). With a consistent exercise routine, I was able to kickbox, breakdance, lift my bike overhead and carry it into the shed everyday, and do handstand pushups. I only recently stopped all that cause I'm focusing on raising my kid. My point, is that you can definitely come back from this, with the right care and attention. You got this, fam. I believe in you💪🏾👌🏾

[@AMRPhysiotherapy]

Thanks for sharing your story and for the positive message!

[@whompsum]

After it healed up and got back to training do you still have a more prominent acromion bump on the left side? I had some sort of rotator injury (believe it to be from overuse and acute tendinitis) about a month ago and 2 weeks in I notice my acromion sticking up as well. There was never an incident where direct trauma occurred in the area. It was slightly sore for a few days and now kinda just pops sometimes in that area. Just bummed because it’s been a month since I’ve lifted and am less symmetrical than before. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Not diagnosed but definite symptomatic of AC joint dysfunction in my L shoulder, just a few reps of these exercises felt so good! DO THEM.

[@skybluemarshall]

I was diagnosed years ago with X-rays which revealed that I was bone on bone in my left AC joint. This among several other overuse injuries led to my abandonment of all exercises because I was in pain 24/7 for two years. I'm now currently 63 years old and still 40 pounds overweight. Recently, I began walking and doing some basic, ground based calisthenics. I lost 20 pounds. Everything was going quite well for about 3 months. I went from failing to complete two sets of 5 push-ups, to doing 4 sets of 25-30 in my 5 exercise, full body calisthenics routine. I was mostly pain free in my bad shoulder, so I started adding some more various light dumbell and band exercises. Suddenly, the old shoulder pain came back and once again, I'm now in rehab mode. I suspect that overhead presses, lateral raises and chair push-ups were the main culprits. Before that, my standard push-ups and any type of pulling and rowing exercises virtually pain free. My question is this: How was I able to progress so well with a bone on bone joint and where should I go from here, assuming that I can get the pain to go away through rehab? Everything that I've read is geared toward rehab exercises, but I can't find anything that tells me exactly which exercises, I should attempt and which ones I should permanently eliminate, since I'm never technically going to be "healed" and I'm just trying find exercises that won't aggravated my permanently damaged AC joint.

[@AMRPhysiotherapy]

You possibly got better due to offloading the joint. Obviously as you've started to increase more resistance training it may have just irritated the joint again. You probably just need to find the routine that works for you. The exercises in this video will help. When you feel ready to return to resistance training do this gradually and monitor your symptoms as if you jump too quickly into pressing activities etc it may just flare things up. I wouldn't worry about damaging or making things worse, it's likely just more irritation of the joint. Hope this helped!

[@skybluemarshall]

Thank you very much. The exercises in your video are definitely helping. I started doing some 25 dumbell floor presses instead of push-ups and my shoulder seems to like that much better.

I’m almost 3 months from my grade 2 ac injury. It’s still sore to raise my arm above my head and if I move my arm a lot (everyday tasks around the house), my shoulder gets sore. I can’t sleep on my right side either. How long did it take for you to recover? Can you sleep on that side? Im a side sleeper and it’s driving me crazy that I can’t sleep on that side.

[@noneandnone7770]

Excellent video that explains the key exercises and what areas they work. I injured my AC in a Grade 3 tear six weeks ago now. 2 weeks in a sling then isometric exercises then bands. Using light weights now. It's a long slow road so be conscientious. You have to take responsibility for your own recovery. Do your own research. Reach out to experts. A blue sling and some over the counter painkillers from the hospital emergency (also my story) is not anywhere near good enough. All the best for anyone suffering this injury along with the lack of medical interest in it.

I walked into the ER with my shoulder falling off. They gave me a $3 blue sling and showed me the door. With enough complaining I finally got referred to a "specialist"- who walked in for literally 6 seconds, push my shoulder around in 3 directions as I'm screaming in pain-- and directly walks out without even saying a word to me. and he sent my a $600 bill. Here I am a decade later and I'm still suffering from my shoulder with binding and grinding and constant pain and restricted movement, with my collar bone sticking up out of my shoulder. The "health care" system in the US is a f^cking joke. They DO NOT help people without money.

[@Wetalkgames9913]

Facts ! Same experience only they gave me medication with the sling that only lasted two days and send me home and telling me that a “specialist” would call me which they did A MONTH LATER

[@pnwfisher2144]

Sounds like you got more screwed over than usual. Most people in the US get better care than that.

[@papryk3102]

It won't make you feel better but I'm not having a great experience with my exercise-related injuries in Poland (technically free healthcare), either, because by the time I can see a specialist as an outpatient whatever injury I sustain will have worsened to the point of no return (it's 3 months of waiting at least and that's only for an appointment which will end with a referral for an x-ray, MRI on an ultrasound and another 3-4 months of waiting). Everything's available "privately" if you have the money but I don't, so I'm left with icing, resting and researching these things online. I'm pretty sure I have suffered a grade 1 AC tear as a result of overtraining on rings whilst leaning too much onto my left shoulder because of another injury in my right wrist, at least based on the pain and mobility tests presented online, and to the list of "things to avoid" in the video I would personally have to add pullups because they're the absolute worst trigger for me. Sucks to be left alone with these problems no matter where you are, hope you're gonna get better.

[@samsonpug]

Injured my shoulder in Feb. Dislocated it. I reduced it myself. I was hospitalised with multiple rib fractures, haemothorax etc. Everything has healed-but the shoulder is knackered No point seeing a doctor They can offer tablets, steroid injection, surgery and physio Avoid the first 3 Physio is a joke unless you pay NHS will give you an exercise sheet This KZbin video is great I am also swimming Using a Sauna Can I ask opinion on press ups I can do them at 45 degrees and on pull ups I used to do 3 sets of 10 unassisted.

[@fazer12779]

What exercises can you do after it's healed to stop it clicking moving in certain ranges?

[@AMRPhysiotherapy]

Clicking after this injury is quite normal and sometimes remains indefinitely. The clicking can come from the joint itself or from the structures underneath it. Sometimes, range of motion exercises are the best option. Other times, strength exercises work. If it really bothers you, I'd recommend checking with a health care professional.

[@tahaahmad3242]

I had grade 3 AC joint separation and ortho adviced me to go for surgery ( i would personally advice if one can go for surgery for grade 3 he should , however it does feel a big deal at first but it helps in two ways 1. To regain the natural contour of the shoulders and 2. Surgically operated shoulder will give more strength in future than non-operative one. Again, it is my opinion you may disagree with it.) I had surgery after 4 days of injury and he used the best technique in which less incisions were made i think it is called dog bone button technique. 1. Stitches removed after 2 weeks 2. Review at 3rd week, doctor told me to remove sling and start physiotherapy. 3. It has been 5th week and I have full range of motion with no pain at all. 4. Till 3 months I will give it time for recovery with no heavy weight lifting and after 3 months I'll get back to normal pushups,pull ups can also play sport but will wait till 6 months. But I would suggest one should play any contact sport after 6 months. ( I want to be extra careful in this to regain full strength and healing) In this surgical method two clips are inserted which are bio-compatibale and are permanent but if one wants to remove, he may get them removed after 2 years. In x-ray both shoulders seem alike but obviously two clips are visible in the operated one and yes initially there used to be a llate placed over clavicle that had to be removed and could be felt if touched but these two clips are are small and can be placed permanently. I too went through the same state of mind that probably you are going through, I watched almost all videos on yt and thought I should share my personal experience and opinion so that anyone might get comfort and hope. Wish you best of luck, it happens but what matters is how you go through it. Willpower is the only thing that is required as it is a time taking process. Stay composed and determined 🤝🙌

[@Success_tips_ai]

I have Grade 2 AC joint dislocation, without surgery doctor told me to wear clavicle supporter, 2 weeks gone no pain in moving hand little, but i can’t take my hand up, i was doing going gym for 1 year, How much time it will take to bench press 60kg again?? And any chance to dislocate again on gym? I will start this exercise after 3 weeks. 😊

[@AMRPhysiotherapy]

Hard to tell when you're back to your 60kg again because these things take time and everyone will respond different. We'd just recommend on focusing on your rehab gradually and just enjoy the process and try not to rush things!

Buenos días, se puede operar despues de 3 meses de esa luxación, yo lo tengo en grado 3 lesión acromioclavicular

[@Tom-._.-_-]

I have an issue with my left shoulder. IT IS NOT POPPING OR SNAPPING, AND IT ONLY CLICKS IN ONE MOVEMENT BUT IS NOT A CLICKING THING. Also, IT IS NOT PAINFUL BUT CAN BE UNCOMFORTABLE/DISCONCERTING SOMETIMES. It feels like it is a lot deeper within my shoulder, and it creates a deep sound like something rolling over something else. Potentially useful information: This has been going on for several years but has become more noticeable recently. Also, I am young and physically active. The movements in which this problem is triggered/comes to light are: .When lifting my left arm+hand over my head with my that arm abducted out to the side/elbows out to the side and then when bringing my arm back down to my side so that my left elbow touches my lower left lat. This is the most notable movement that it occurs in. .When my arm is at a normal 90-degree angle as if I'm shaking someone's hand and then externally rotating my arm at the elbow (while keeping my elbow locked into my side) so that my forearm is out to the side, and then back to that 90-degree handshake angle. .Location: I'm pretty sure it's where the shoulder meets the top of my arm. I can actually see something shift quickly in my shoulder during each of these movements, as if something inside is going over something else inside their too. This problem could be due to an injury that I can't recall happening and no longer hurts but has caused it to be like this. If anyone has an answer to this in terms of what it is/what it's called or what I could do to solve this (even if it's temporary), you would be helping me massively since this has been going on for years now. I don't know if it's effecting the way that my shoulder functions, and I don't want this to effect the activation, use, and growth of certain muscle heads in my shoulder, but I feel like it is. To be specific, I don't think the middle delt on my left shoulder is being activated/working properly when I do shoulder exercises in which the middle delt should be being used and eventually growing over time. My left shoulder looks completely different from my right shoulder when I abduct my arms out in front of me or to the side because there is a clear dip in (the middle of) my shoulder where the middle delt should be more prominent like it is in my right shoulder, which doesn't have this issue. My left shoulder's range of movement is still the same as my right shoulder, but I could be making it worse by continuing to put my left shoulder through these motions throughout the day without realising it. Instead, I may actually need to be focusing on fixing this issue first and making that the priority before continuing to use my left shoulder normally. I did use to play a lot of table tennis, so perhaps my right shoulder has become more used to/accustomed to going into difficult positions and has gained greater strength there and therefore the ability to move in greater ranges of movement without this sensation of things rolling over each other occurring, but regardless, these are needed/important ranges of movement that I should be able to do/use in both shoulders without experiencing this concerning sensation and hearing that deep sound of movement that I want rid of. I just want my shoulder to act/move and look normal again, and essentially for things in the shoulder rolling over each other to be gone. I copied and pasted this comment which I had left on another video. If someone could confirm/let me know for sure that this is the issue that I have described then that is all I need to know.

[@fengshui_]

When do you recommend starting rehab after injury?

[@AMRPhysiotherapy]

The sooner, the better in most cases, unless you are advised to immobile.

[@fengshui_]

I’m getting this popping sensation from certain movements like bringing my arms across. Doctors suspect grade 1 or 2 since no complete tear. You would still recommend to do exercises at this point. I wasn’t told to immobilize just to monitor and RICE. And would you recommend a brace?

I did 6 weeks physical therapy and it felt slightly better showing some improvment. I'm a surfer and can surf without substantial pain now. However, After 3 1/2 months I'm still in pain when I wake up in the morning after work days. My A/C is still very painful to rub on or massage. Also there is a protruding knot on my A/C joint now.

Mild narrowing of the joint is a normal age related finding on the X-ray. It depends on what your baseline was and what you are aiming to achieve. Might be an issue if you are a professional javelin thrower, but it should be absolutely fine if you are not a professional athlete. Sorry for the ambiguity, but it is very difficult to advise on the comments section. We normally advise to consult with a health professional.

@@AMRPhysiotherapy I first noticed it in the left shoulder bench pressing about 3 months ago. Not crazy weights about 70kg. I’m 43 years old in two months. I’ve been doing all the shoulder strengthening exercises and have been referred for physio I’m just trying to get some information on wether or not the pain can ever go away fully or if it’s something that simply needs to be tolerated and treated for good moving forwards ? I want to get back to benching pain free basically.

Got an acj inflammation (I guess), no separations, no brusises or anything else whatsoever, just pain with pushing movements on my left shoulder, will I be able to get back to doing dips pain free? Started including it in my routine recently and I fucking love this excercise, but after two weeks with no improvements with the pain I feel discouraged, so many people are writing that theyve been under pain for years ...

It cane tricky to manage. Sometimes we just need a period of time to let this calm down so we can move forward. Are you sure this is ACJ related? If you've not seen anyone face to face we'd recommend this to assure a diagnosis so you can move forward with the correct advice.

I'm currently doing a bunch of stretching and mild RoM exercises. Do I need to lose that "pinch" in my joint when moving my arm across/above/behind my back completely before I should start gradually doing PT exercises? Or can I start to do my PT exercises even when I still have a bit of that pinching feeling left?

[@AMRPhysiotherapy]

If the pinch is typically 4/10 or below on your pain scale it should be ok. You just don't want anything higher than this as you don't want to irritate it too much! Watch this video on how to do sets etc for rehab kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2OviHmai7afZ7ssi=cCsRZYu6rCg-R3Vs

Is it necessary for type 2 joint injury to be cured without surgery? Because I feel pain when I use my shoulder to much. And it's almost 5 years with injury.

It is possible yes however if you exhaust rehab etc and it doesn't improve then surgery may be considered.

Okay.. so.. i had minor ac joint injury 1 year ago.. it was painful as hell for the first 4-5 months then it gradually went down. I did x-ray and it showed that everything is perfect, no separation. I was stunned because recovery took such a long time but i only ( obviously ) had grade 1/2. Horizontal adduction was killing me, but now i can do it pain free.. BUUUT i still have days where i feel slight pinch somewhere above collarbone when i depress my shoulder or protract it far enough. It’s annoying as shit and i really wanna know will this be chronic thing for me now or it just need some more time to heal 100%?

[@AMRPhysiotherapy]

These things can take time. You probably need to commence rehab. However if unsure we would recommend getting seen in person to get a more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan!

I have had the same injury, I think lifting weights to strengthen your shoulders is the answer, I recommend barbell overhead presses, barbell rows and dumbbell raises front and lateral. This is what I do.

Try do not wear the smart band/clock for 2-5 days and see or the pain has gone. I had pain in my elbow for 4 months. Once I have stopped wearing the band, 2 days after the pain has gone. I also have found other people had the same experience with wrist/elbow/shoulder pain. So if you have the smart band/clock, try do not wear it for 2-5 days and see the result!

[@AMRPhysiotherapy]

Debatable but whatever works for you

[@user-pq3or3nx8s]

Ehhh that is MAYBE from compression of the nerves from wearing the watch too tight. Maybe. But the watch being the cause of pain is very very highly unlikely. The improvement of the pain could just coincidentally (most likely is) doing other things to recover from the injury.

That's true, you will need to adjust accordingly to your ability. It's more guidance than individual advice.
