    AC joint injury

    I got a type 3 AC shoulder joint injury while snowboarding a few weeks ago. Which means I completely tore all 3 tendons that hold my clavicle down. I am scheduled for surgery in a few weeks. It is killing me not to do upper body. Is there any exercises that I can do? How about any rehab exer. before my surgery?

    Right in the middle of my cycle too.

    I had the same thing happen to me 15 years ago. Dirt bike accident for me. I chose not to get surgery. I live with my bone sticking up. Makes my traps a bit different in sizes. I wouldn't mess with it, you'll do more damage.

    I was afraid you would say that. Same thing my ortho said. I guess it's leg,abs, and cardio for the next three months
    How long did it take to get your strength back without surgery?

    don't do any thing! just wait for the surgery, rehab later. you did alot of damage exercise at this point will probably make it worse

    it is probably a good time to start taking clomid and end the cycle, there isn't much you could do
