damn man that sucks. i had a grade 3 seperation of my AC joint 3 years back, not a fun injury. do as much rehab as you can, it will put you back on the bike faster. how did it happen?
Instead of landing on my two wheels, i landed on my shoulder...
After about 5 hours in the ER and some PERK, all i wanna do is sleep, but my shoulder is killing me....
i'm out for a couple of weeks!
but i'll make a few trips to diablo to shoot....

heal up fast yo!! dont get to hooked on the perks!
did you get surgery? or did it heal by itself, if so how long was it before you can do regular riding/therapy?
i had 2 docs tell me not to have surgury, just rehab. i was told surgury was similar to rotator cuff surgury, which i hear is not too fun. i went to rehab 2 days a week for 2 months. after 3-4 weeks i was feeling pretty good, getting my range of motion/strength back. atleast now you will have a good conversation starter when people see a bone sticking out of your shoulder!!
2 perks = sleep
Dave did you take the spill under the lift at the bottom of Alpine/Domboo? Someone told me on the lift today they saw someone get taken out on a stretcher earlier in the morning. Hope you heal up quick dude, I feel your pain.
****... sorry to hear about this Dave. I did the same thing to my shoulder during Dom. 3 last season. Get well soon!
wasn't me... i rode injured down to my car..... drove home afterward.... i was putting my bike on the lift when i crashed....
hurting myself>

i will be at diablo next week taking some pics, if my shoulder can hold up.... right now i'm in Tremendous pain....
The original plan was to go down Green horn for a warm up run (this was my 2rd run) with someone, instead the very last minute i opted to go down Dominion to the drops.... Bad call in on my behalf...
Hey, i had dodged the injury bullet for over 4 season.... it was bound to happen, now it's my time to heal up... come back faster, stronger.... BETTER.......

I had the same exact problem. Grade 3 AC seperation... Holy crap did that hurt. I did it snowboarding and I still wasn't able to start the bike season on time. My right shoulder sits an inch lower than my left and is probably going to wind up giving me back problems later on in life. Dave make sure you listen to your doctors! Heal up bro!
Thanks man..... hopefully i'll be available to take pics next week, i don't want to miss out on the OPEN.....
I see a Orthopedic On Monday/Tuesday, and see what they have to say.... i think i have a class 2 or class 1 as some of the gusy who had this injury told me that my bone is sticking up bit not as bad as theirs....
so i have some hope....
Now i'll go to the gym and do only Cardio, no weight lifting... Bike, tredmill, elyptical etc..... man this sucks....

Dave,
I separated mine at the Open last year... I was lucky that i have pretty strong shoulders and the muscles kept everything in place and helped it heal, but it took some time. I took about a month off, but it never really felt strong until the end o the season.

i did mine snowboarding too. first run of the day, caught an edge. had to sit in the bar all day and wait for my boys to get done shredding all day. it was the weekend before i was gonna do my first race at bootleg canyon, kinda ruined those plans. 3 scripts for vicoden and an addictive personality helped numb the pain though(6-7 a day).
all of them..... ;-(
percaced sucks the side effects has me throwing up... may have to syop taking.....
ugh...get better soon man. Hopefully we will see you out there next weekend....all of them..... ;-(

In my day we didn't have arms, held on to the bars with our teeth we did & we liked it that way!
Now where was I? ... Oh yeah, get off my lawn!
Hope you heal up quick Dave!!
P.S.
Watch those percs bro, don''t rtake them for more thna two weeks or you're going to have a hell of a time getting off of them..

Dave sorry to hear that bro. as everyone says becareful with the perks you may have an alergic reaction and that's why you throwup or an empty stomach. also them and vikes can bind you up not fun. If you want to dull the pain without heavy meds Alieve will take down the swelling and motrin in heavy doses like 800mg at a time or advil will dull the pain. I had to experiment when I got hurt because vikes don't do **** for me and Morphine and perks are too adictive for me... love that Morphine euphoria. heal quick and hope you don't need to get cut open. Hope to see you soon.
sounds like allergic reaction halluicinating and pukeing fuk that you should stop themI already stopped taking them..... they had me hallucinating... i'm opting to Self Medicate...
actually don't self med since you are having weird reactions to perks. I would see a dr or make a hospital trip. so you don't get sicker
sucks to hear about that man sorry. Trust me, I know your pain of suffering from injuries. at least its not season long like mine were! As for the pain killers, the percs screwed me up reallll bad too. at first they didnt, but than 1 day...oy it was horrible. Honest opinion, try to get your hands on tylenol with codeine. that did wonders for me after my stomach disagreed with percs. Feel better, keep us posted! And just remember, it could always be worse heheh
Man, some Ganja, Advil Liquidgels and Tiger Balm on my shoulder has worked some miracles.... the swelling went down, and i have better movement of my arm, still very very sore though...
I'll find out how bad is this AC Joint Separation tomorrow... fingers crossed

marijuana does the best job with out messing up your body with chemicals. I actually used tiger balm once, it was rad.
Day 3....
I now have more motion on my shoulder, the Swelling went down a bit, but it still hurts when i make some movements, still feels like i have a 30 pound weight on my left shoulder....
The "Self Medication" and a couple of beers helped ease the pain.....
i have a feeling that i'll be up and running very soon... that's depending on what the doc sais today.

DH-DAD has a thor MX chest protector with break away mesh shoulder protection that you can borrow. It looks a little goofy but will help prevent reinjury of that spot until it heals totally. He wore it while making his come back after a nasty seperation. PM and I will get it for you.
Ooh, I did my A/C-Shoulder opening day last year. Level 1, but no PT and still annoys me a little, but works fine.
Try lifting your arm over your head - extended straight out to the side... that comes with a rewarding boat load of pain!
Heal up!
and if you're not going to be using those perc's.....
DOH
PRANK CALL, PRANK CALL!
