Shoulder injury - AC joint

[The Sun]

Long time ago (8 months but who's counting) I hurt my shoulder during an American Football match.
Being stupid, I didn't pay too much attention and continued training both on and off the field regulary, no icing or NSAIDS.

I cant clearly remember how it happened, might be just a moment not focusing during bench press or a really bad angle on the field with a big impact - consequence is that I can't bench press for over 6 months. really, cant.

I have tried the Starr rehab protocol, and also paid a good money for 3 meeting at the physio's. I am really hopeless already.

I also tried loading arcoxia or however you name that drug that should solve bad inflammations.

so right now I'm hopeless and really weak at the upper body. I was told its an Impigement. SAVE ME!!! I bet you have dealt with tons of people who suffered through this nudging injury.

thanks!

You may have separated your shoulder. Have it been diagnosed?
