    On Sunday playing rugby I seperated my AC joint. Went had Xrays and a visit to the ortho, reckons it'll be 6-8 weeks before I play again - anyone else done this joint in the past and how long before you were back to training/cycling/etc???
    It's feeling a bit better day on day but it's still weak and gets tired if it's out of the sling for too long...
    Any advice for a quicker recovery would be well appreciated
    Cheers

    What rehab work are you doing on it?
    Should be lots of rotator cuff and get regular massage once inflamation has gone down

    wouldn't be able to do any work on it at the moment anyway....

    I did my AC in judo just before christmas and it was a grade 2 AC injury, not serious at all. Took me the bones of 5 weeks to get better and about 6 for the pain to cease.

    I would as with the majority of injuries following RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation). Just rest it and ice it and when you can begin to do front raises with a bottle of water to keep the shoulder ticking over. Just a few points i thought id make. Hope you have a speedy recovery my man.
