A member asked:
I have ac joint separation, will the bump cause any physical problems with sports?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It shouldn't: Almost all these separations heal themselves, and leave a bump. You should be able to participate in all activities without discomfort, once fully healed.

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. If pain persists or you have pain with activities then sometimes surgical intervention is warranted. Consult an Orthopaedic surgeon for a complete work up. Hope this information is helpful. Take care. Wilsonshoulder.com
