I have been having slight shoulder pain for the last 4 or 5 months and it doesn't seem to be healing. I am an avid whitewater paddler and do some indoor rock climbing so it something that I am use to dealing with from time to time so I haven't really paid much attention to it. The pain is not the point where it limits my activity although I have altered my weight lifting routine some to try to give it some rest.

I recently noticed that there is a small bump on my right shoulder that is leading me to believe I might have a Type II separation but I would have thought it would have healed by now on its own. I just started taking an anti inflammatory drug to try to speed up the healing process.

My question is would a separated shoulder take this long to heal or am I likely dealing with something else. I haven't bit the bullet and went to see the Doctor yet.
