I suffered a a Class II / III "Acromioclavicular (AC) Joint", or classic separated shoulder, about a week ago. Ortho says it will feel better in 3 weeks, just take it easy... BUT DO NOT FALL ON IT WITHIN THE NEXT 6 WEEKS OR IT WILL BE SURGERY WITH A 4 MONTH RECOVERY!
In fact, she is treating another dirt biker right now who had a II-III, went riding after 3 weeks, did fall on it, and is now scheduled for surgery. :|
This really sucks... Not only did I DNF my last race due to the injury, but now I'm going to miss the next 2.
I'm tempted to race at an event in 4 weeks, but it's more likely than not that I'll fall so will sit it out. :(
