no clue???  maybe four weeks if its bad.  and you should deffinatly not do anthing like skiing alittle after because it would be really easy to seperate it again.

seperated and dislocated are two different things. i seperated mine two years ago. it is a 3 or 5 depending who you ask. i was riding in less than a week. i was told i couldn't make it any worse by falling on it, but it would hurt real bad. you prob don't need surgery unless its ur throwing arm and you need it for sports or some shit. otherwise physical therapy will get it back to %100. and the bump don't go away without surgery.

i did mine in december but it was only about a grade 1.  i was sliding rails in like a week just playing then full jumping in probably 2-3.  it still hurt A LOT to fall but you will get better.

A month ago  I

*  Dislocated
* Grade II Reverse AC Seperation
*bone fracture

IT's been a month and i've been doing hella rehab and don't have full motion and can barley lift a jug of juice. It takes almost a year for full recovery for me . Depends on how bad the seperation was.

completely depends what grade you've done

happily ive done grade 1 and grade 3 (the worst). Grade 1 takes 2-3 weeks to be fine but personal pain threshold has to be taken into account.
Grade 3 can take a long time. i couldn't ski park properly for about 8 weeks but took it easy after about 5-6 weeks.
good luck bro, keep icing it
