Specifically acromio-clavicular joint dislocation. Unfortunately an old collarbone break had been giving me gyp prior to this latest injury. X-ray showing possible bit of random bone lurking.
As always, thank you so much. 🙂

WIN!
I've got a shoulder calvicle plate, with some ligament reconstruction.
Doesn't hurt too much, only pings the odd airport X-ray machine and only feels a little odd on very cold mornings.
Plate in/on my right clavicular- pretty much the full length, 8 screws (some 'inside' the bone).
Been in since 2000. Has been fine until the last few months- it now aches, catches and hurts when I raise my arm. Think it may need to come out!
Glad I had it done though; the bone was in many pieces, a real mess. It was great as soon as the plate was put in (literally within 2 weeks).
Thanks for the replies. So you're all able to do the things that you were doing before?
Long waiting list for surgery so haven't a clue what I shall do in the meantime. Walking boots will be going on as soon as is sensible.
Don't accept a long waiting list if you possibly can - make a fuss if you want the surgery.
Yep. It's fine - had some nerve problems afterwards - everything around my shoulder felt numb for months. The only pain I get now is from heavy rucksucks.
