Hi,
I recently stuffed my shoulder riding, type III acromioclavicular (AC) joint separation. I had surgery, hook plate, to hold it in place while the tendons and whatever else is in there heal. 6 weeks from the operation I am to have the arm in a sling and I am not "fit to drive" which is a bit of pain. After three months I will require another surgery to remove the hook plate.
I have been told by the hospital physio that I won't be riding for 12 months!!! I find this a little hard to believe, but frighteningly possible. I can't comprehend the possibility of not being able to ride for that long.
Has anyone got any experience with these types of injuries, how long it took to recover, anything you can possibly do to help expediate it etc.
