How did it happen? Was there a specific incident that caused it? Usually this is the case with the AC joint

Before the injury my shoulder was making clicking sound but without pain so I ignored so I sparred and then the next day my shoulder starting hurting.then the next week my something fell on the tip of my shoulder and hurt even more. That's how it all started

This has cleared up all of my muscular injuries. Its not as succcesful with tendons in my experience. It works well with joints.

A bump over the top of the shoulder after a fall onto it is usually a disruption of the AC joint between the collarbone and the acromion process of the shoulder blade.
Injury to the ligaments connecting these two bones would usually appear on MRI however.
You should try physical therapy. The shoulder joint is a complex area which is often affected by muscle imbalances and poor posture so exercise rehab is usually really helpful.

I just got an xray and MRI and everything came back normal but with a strain shoulder. My doc told to take PT for 8 weeks. But idk I feel like it's not a strain because I got pain and clicking sound on my shoulder and a bump on the ac joint but my doc said it's just imflammed. I'm just so confused? Can all these symptom be just a strain??

[Heidi]

The pain and clicking can definitely be a strain. The bump on the AC joint could be due to such a muscle injury causing a force on the AC joint which has pulled it out of position, resulting in the bump.
So yes, possibly.

Heidi thanks for info. My bump got a lil better not as big as before.my pain has reduce and I used have a hot sensation but when away....my doc told me this injury could take a while hopefully he's write.i been having been having pain/aching on my neck on the side of my shoulder injury. Is that a bad thing? Or will it go away while my injury is recovering
