600lb shrugs. c5, c6 herniated. shoulder is unstable and painful. what type of shoulder injury could it be, excluding nerves? ac joint? thanks.

AC joint: Likely an ac joint problem, but could be pain radiating down from neck or internal joint pain in shoulder due to labrum or rotator cuff. Would suggest evaluation by an orthopedic surgeon in your area.
