Thanks for posting the pic absntr, I did the same thing last summer, shoulder separation, same grade, same bump, and also a little crunchiness in the rotation of my shoulder. The doc I saw (the emergency room doc that I only went to because my arm was behind me and it was too painful to move it forward myself
) was like, meh, surgery, everyone always wants to do surgery on this kind of stuff, I think that's dumb.
bla bla bla, I'm glad to see a pic of someone else equally "deformed" and that I haven't got myself into some orthopedic trouble.
Thanks.
