Hi! I have a grade 2 A/C seperation from a dirtbike/catapult thats 2 years old and I've felt shoulder instability for 6mo now.
Just 2 months ago I put my shoe on standing up and pulled something in my shoulder . I went to the doc 3 wks later who had an MRA arthogram done a wk later. It revealed a small tear on the anterior and inferior region of the glenoid labrum and degenerative changes involving the A/C joint consistent with history of prior a/c seperation. So ... They say we can do an operation to grind down the a/c joint n stich it back - then stich up the labrum in 4 spots. But first do 4-6 wk of therapy to strengthen the shoulder cus its been unused for 2mo n very week and unstable to maybe skip surgery.
I have my first therapy session in 2 days finally
So I guess my questions are : has anyone gone through something like this before? Recovery time? They say I may be out for 6months!! I'm 26 yrs old and I play drums everyday ( well not for months now) do I just sell all my drum stuff n play guitar? Or is this something I can recover from without being arthritic in 2yrs n hurting my body more then it is now.
