I have a grade 3.5 AC separation, right shoulder, since May 2006. Have not had surgery but I've always had the option. I did initially schedule myself for surgery and cancelled that after I received IMT (Integrated Manual Therapy - centerimt.com) IMT is great for lots of stuff including this, and I've always gotten along with the injury, but in the past few months I started to hit a wall with my fiddle playing, and started to get more chronic pain right behind the right shoulder blade - "winging" of the shoulder blade. Been recently working with a PT to work on that - using taping and some exercises to strengthen the serratis (sp?) muscle - it's helping. I also did 3 Feldenkreis appointments in the past 2 weeks which is also very helpful - learning correct positioning and working on how to engage the back muscles between and under the shoulder blades, will probably do more appointments for that ( ... )
