Nice! I had an AC resection on the right side 5yrs ago after a snowboarding crash that also fractured the clavicle. 1yr later had AC resection, acromioplasty, rotator cuff, reattachment of deltoid muscle and another fractured clavicle on left side after a mountain bike crash. Left shoulder looks like it belongs to Frankenstien! Also no feeling at all on the skin covering left shoulder which is kinda cool at parties! Doc did a hella job! Still jamm'in and most days don't feel any pain.

Sorry I just read your first message first. Um, I'm absolutely not a professional, but I'd say give it at leats 2 weeks if its grade 2, and I'd guess you'd be fine in 8 days if its grade 1, I hade Grade 3. :( If your talking about like bmx, or mountain bike racing, then All I have to say is that It'll be VERY hard to bunnyhop, and jump. Maybe wheelieing will hurt a little as well. This was my first serious injury, I was in shock so bad when I saw a bone sticking out of my shoulder.

Wow, is that because your colar bone was hitting you shoulder after an AC seperation? I just had a grade 3 AC seperation a month ago, its coming along good so far.
