Re: Acromioclavicular separation

I seperated my shoulder in a martial arts class in Jan 07, and it is still bothering me. I am considering surgery, but the doctor said it was only a class 1 seperation. I want to get back into training, but when I try, it starts to hurt more. If I have the surgery, will it be 100% or is it likely to be something I have to live with, and can it get worse the more I train, or will it strengthen with time? Thanks, Ian
