supplements to help AC joint

[dsmega55]

I sprained my AC joint ligiment 4 weeks ago today. I have been on 200 mg of advil 3 times a day for 2 weeks. I started joint fuel the day after i hurt my shoulder. are there any other supplements that will possibly speed up healing? any help would be great...i hate injuries!

I had a type 2 AC seperation 5 weeks ago. Try icing and heating (repeatedly, icing to minimize any swelling, and heating to facilitate the flow of red blood cells) and staying off the heavy lifting. I took a week off and then continued to lift, and instead of my shoulder being healed right now, I'm at 85% strength.

Advil, Ibprofun; are the only things that you can take next to Cortico shots.

Glucosamine with MSM or just MSM - good for joints.

I don't think it will help with an AC seperation or strain. I've been taking 1000mg of Glucosamine and Chondroitin, along with MSM for the past 6 months or so. Or if it does help, I really don't want to know how bad I hurt my shoulder.

I'll have to agree with you shoichi, i'd hate to know how bad i really hurt my shoulder...i have taken almost 2 and a half weeks off from lifting....All the Dr. told me was that i needed to take it "easy" for 2 weeks and i'd be back to 100%....and my shoulder still hurts like a mother sometimes.....

Go to 400 Ibuprophen (Advil) 3x, and Ice early and late for 20 minutes each.

I'm probably hindering the recovery of my shoulder, but I decided to start lifting heavy again anyways. I still don't have a full range of motion without some type of discomfort, but taking more than a couple weeks off wasn't really acceptable.

Take the Time and heal or you will really regret it bro!

Glucosamine chondroitin and SF Jello (Gelatin)
Soak in Epsom
Capzaicin or whatever, works great.
