I separated my shoulder (not dislocated) on Aug. 4th 2006. Though ive seen some progress in my healing, im still injuried. I am a shot put thrower, and injurying my throwing arm obvouisly put a solid halt on my career. Has anyone with this injury experianced such a delay in healing? Its been so long and i feel that i couldnt of had a slight separation, grade 1 or 2, if ive still been experiance painful motions this long. Its been about 7 months.

A grade 1 or 2 AC separation usually resolves in 2-4 weeks, not 7 months. How old are you? Is this school related? Do you have an athletic trainer available? If so, an athletic trainer can evaluate your shoulder and then suggest rehab exercises to help. However, if you are continuing to have pain in the shoulder, I would suggest visiting a sports medicine physician. It is possible that you may have some irritation of the rotator cuff, or surrounding tissue that may be causing the pain. It is important to see a sports medicine professional as they are experienced in these types of injuries. In the end, you can only get a good diagnosis from someone who can actually see and evaluate your shoulder, my advice is to seek help if it is bothering you.

You either have a more serious injury to the ligaments or something additional going on with your shoulder. You may want to get additional medical evaluations/opinions. It may also be a good idea to get a Chiropractic evaluation.
Best wishes and good luck.
