Shoulder injury: As a rugby player which indicates u were probably exposed to a large injuries force., the fact that u have pain with attempted push-ups indicates possible ligament injury. Get in to see a shoulder specialist.

AC Joint injury: Acromioclavicular injuries are very common in contact sports.This injury occurs where the collarbone meets the shoulder blade on the top of the shoulder.This injury is very common when there is a impact from the side during a tackle or when being pushed down to the ground.Separation of the joint occurs when the ligament connecting the bones together tears.Treatment and recovery depends on severity
