Alright brothers I need a bit of guidance . Around late Nov early Dec last year I did my AC joint in a friendly[not so friendly] game of held[street style rugby league]. It wasn't very painful but I knew something was up and I didn't go to the doctor because I thought it could be just bruising. Then the next weekend after we had another friendly game and I was going in for a big hit up and my cousin actually grabbed me by the front of my jersey and fell to the ground pulling me over top of him. I landed directly on the top of my shoulder and instantly felt pain. I couldn't move my shoulder and it wasn't a massive surge of pain, I could handle it. I felt, I'll just sit out for a minute or two and get back into it. But I couldn't move it at all, so I went to the doctor and he confirmed I had an AC joint injury. This is where it get's all confusing, I had an x-ray, the doc put me in a sling and sent me away and that was it. No advice, no medication no nothing[he looked like he had been having a bad day altogether].
3 months on, I can move it fine, when I do circles with my arm I feel like my shoulder is clicking but it isn't painful at all and any time I come into contact with things it hurts alot. The point of my shoulder sticks out the front and that's the part that hurts the most. I can sleep on it, but staying on it too long hurts as well. Rugby season is about to start and I'm thinking of going back to the doc before hand to make sure I'll be alright.
Anyone got any experience with this type of injury? any opinions on going back to the doc or is it just the injury?
