Well, while drunk, I tripped out of a van and fell shoulder first into a wall. I'm just about 100% sure I have at least a partial tear of the AC joint in my left shoulder. My problem is I have no insurance and very little cash as I've just moved across the country and haven't secured a job yet. From what I've read, there's really nothing a doctor can do other than to confirm the diagnosis and give some pain pills.

What I hope to find out are some good physical therapy exercises for when the pain goes away. Any suggestions? Also any suggestions for treatment other than ice, asprin, and rest?
