I have treated very painful A/C injuries that did not show any changes in X-Ray or CT. Some did not even have bruising at the site. Kinda like the old adage that a cracked rib can hurt more than a fractured one... HaHoping for your fast recovery. Note... if it hurts don't do it...
thank you. yes, that's the plan. just did a few range of motion moves specific to the AC joint. I shud stay with these & only do weight training on movements that don't stress the AC. amazing amount of info out there. the internet is so helpful. my Dad used to have a Physicians Desk Reference when I was a kid growing up. he has a PHD but psychology not medicine but we trusted his research. of course we had a family Doctor. in what capacity did you treat ppl?
