I separated my right shoulder motocrossing in 2000.
I overjumped a 50 foot table top in fourth gear - it wasn‘t the jump that got me, but the bad landing and the flying over the handlebars that did it.
Anyways, the doc at the ER took a look, said I separated it, told me they no longer operate on separated shoulders and that I should lay off it for a few months, then it would be "like normal"
However, army physicals being what they are, I should ask if anyone has run into problems with this getting in the way of the recruiting process, or, upon entering the forces, if carrying a ruck or moving a heavy piece of equipment caused any further strains or breaks.
I know, the question is out there somewhat, but I gotta ask if anyone‘s run into this before. It‘s still somewhat visible as a bump on the shoulder and apparently collar bone breaks and separated shoulders(the collar bone separating from the shoulder) are the most common bones to do.
So, anyone else had to deal with this?
