I had an AC decompression (distal clavicle resection) on 12/12/08. It is now 3/3/09 and I am about 80% better.

My pain before the surgery was quite bad and I had been favoring the arm for a long time so my recovery may be longer than some people. Also, I am 47 years old, so younger people might recover better.

I have been doing physical therapy twice a week since the surgery. I now have full range of motion and feel fine most of the time. I still have some minor pain when trying to use my arm over my head.
