In general, the AC joint injury might occur by overuse of the joint as it was in my case doing different sports. Any repeated exercise with weight above the head might cause it. I restrained from doing any movement that produces pain but, I continued doing exercise. For me, the ice pack over the joint works well and ibuprofen. Now, I am starting to move more the arm and gentle mobilizing the arm suspended next to the thorax in all directions and I will progress to do this with Theraband. The orthopedic Dr. only will send you to physio because they do not have much to do, only in cases of major rupture that I do not think is your case.
Greetings,
Martha

Said I had AC joint injury .. I knew my shoulder and forearm would hurt really bad when I moved it a certain way . Honestly I don’t know when I hurt it ,unless it was from lifting something heavy . I am waiting to see an Orthopedic Dr . All my family Dr told me to do is taking pain pills / muscle relaxers. I have not taking any pain mess yet .. but I do take the muscle relaxers every night .. I am so ready to get this taken care of . Any pointers will be welcome … Thanks !!!
