Recently, I injured my shoulder playing in my Ultimate Frisbee league. I took a bad tumble on the field and landed on my shoulder, tearing the ligaments that join the clavicle and the scapula. The technical name is the acromioclavicular joint or a-c joint for short. The complete diagnosis is a grade III separation of the acromioclavicular joint.
It's not especially painful but the recovery time is fairly high (one to three months). Recovery is mostly passively immobilizing the shoulder in a sling and later physiotherapy to regain strength and range of motion. I'm looking for good sources of shoulder exercises, like these:
But it comes with a permanent outcome: there's going to be a bump on my left shoulder for good.
