I am having problems with my shoulder from an injury that happened 30 years ago. I had an AC clavicle separation in the 3rd degree 30 years ago and after so many years, I have been getting dull pain. During the day I can handle the pain, but at night, it is a different story. The pain wakes me up and I have a hard time having a full night sleep. I wake up like if I did not sleep enough. Back when I separated my clavicle I did not have surgery to put it back and now I have a bone sticking out of my shoulder. I also did not do that much therapy and I feel that that is why I am getting pain now. Other than pain medicine, what could alleviate my pain at night? I used to take so many pain medicine that I started having side effects like seeing bright lights, tiredness and many others. I think that I was overdosing on pain medicine at the time so I stopped taking them. Is there a medical condition where people with an AC clavicle separation in the 3 degree would start getting pain after 30 years and why after so many years? Thank you so much in advance.
