AC separation advice
Posting here because I assume it’s a common injury. So basically I had rough landing from a jump, didn’t think much of it till I tried to get my bindings off 10 mins later (emphasis on the tried part). Turns out last run of the day is actually last run of the season as what I thought was a bad landing was in fact a grade 3 ac joint separation. Just curious if anyone has any advice, particularly regarding the no surgery approach. I’ll be completely honest, the thing that bums me out the most is the aesthetic impact as I’m quite into bodybuilding and as vain as it is, having one trap that look like a stair case isn’t exactly eye candy. If it has to be like that it has to be I suppose and no hate to anyone who indulges in the bump life, I really wish I could, but I have spent years training towards a certain physique and yeah I won’t lie this kind of annoys me a lot. Also alternatively would surgery result in a different outcome? I’m fully aware this is my own doing and understand that this can just be the reality of what is considered an extreme sport, so not tryna have a sulk just thought I would ask.
Thanks
