Rarely "bad": Lots of things cause shoulder pain.  By far, the most common thing is irritation of the shoulder tendons.

AC SEPARATION: Typically an AC JOINT separation can be treated conservatively when it is only a type 2 or 3. Treatment consists of therapy to regain motion after a short period in a sling.
