I’ve dislocated mine yesterday while skateboarding with my son . I’m 44 and was so glad I found something we both liked that didn’t involve a screen . I’ve had open heart surgery and I can say the pain is comparable to that . I’m miserable. I fractured my humerus too
Advice.. . really focus on the rehabilitation drills. You have to really strengthen the whole shoulder like never before to make it difficult to pop out again. Don't waist time waiting for recovery. Strengthen that shoulder as soon as possible. Make it over strong. Focus on rehab like your life depended on it. Best advice
Okay, this is my only question. How soon can you start working the shoulder with exercise? Can you start immediately for will that actually hamper healing? Does the shoulder need to remain stationary in a sling to actually heal better? Or is that only a pain relief thing? Because I don't care about the pain as much as I care about getting strength back.
You asked for comments about individual experiences. I am 70 and on a Sunday morning exactly 9 weeks ago, fell on a low step and fractured my humerus and dislocated my shoulder - luckily the right one, as I am left handed! After 4 weeks in a sling and on meds, the hospital physiotherapist advised me to wean off both, which I did. X-rays showed there was new bone growth exactly where it should be. The bruising was a lovely shade of dark navy all over the upper arm for four or so weeks, then when it faded to green, dreadful dark fingerprint bruises appeared, no doubt where the surgeon had manipulated the arm back into position. That could not have been easy as it was a (I think this is the correct word) protuberant dislocation, which means the broken part remained in the socket and the rest of the arm dislocated to the other (exterior) side of the broken part. I would say it was week 7 before the pain decreased, and the thing hardest to cope with was fatigue, caused by broken sleep - never got more than 2 hours without waking up and having to change position, which meant I never got that deep sleep that is so important for us all - until last night, when finally I managed two 4-hour sleeps! Bliss. Pleased to report I was driving in just under 8 weeks, so able to enjoy my new Automatic Self Charging car, which had been delivered just two days earlier. The pain now is just a full ache, like general stiffness and only hurts when I have overdone things or try too hard with the exercises. However. I am on the mend! The Consultant Orthopaedic surgeon who re-located my shoulder on Day 1 did tell me 12-16 weeks is not unusual for an injury like mine and probably nearer 6 months for reasonably full recovery. The physiotherapist says up to a year is not unusual and has warned that I may never reach 100% of actions as before, but she does expect me to reach at least almost full mobility. I hope this commentary helps others. One thing that I believe is crucial is to get at least a couple of hours rest each day, because the fatigue is draining and the afternoon rest definitely helps. A positive attitude helps too, which fortunately I have!
I dislocated my shoulder just a few days ago reaching my arm behind me and to the front. It was excruciating pain. It popped back in on its own. I was able to see an orthopedic PA right of way two days later. I'm not wearing a sling. Still have severe pain, not helped by Tylenol or Advil. I think the most frustrating part is knowing you have to rest it and not being properly examined to know if you need surgery or not.
I dislocated my shoulder about 15 yrs ago, my shoulder was hanging about 4 inches out of my shoulder socket. I went to the ER they knocked me out and popped it back in and gave me a sling and sent me home. Over the next 2 yrs just doing normal things like making my bed my shoulder would dislocate. Eventually it stopped happening, but unfortunately earlier today i was on my bike and crashed and dislocated the same shoulder, but it popped right back in. Thankfully I'm off work tomorrow and i think I'm going to take off the next day to give it time to heal a bit.
4 months after popping it back in myself, preforming my own PT I have 95% of full range motion back. But throughout this I would like to say general recovery takes 4-6 months minimum. I still pop when doing range of motion. 100% I’ll assume is 8-10 months
I dislocated my left shoulder about 20 years ago when I slipped on ice.It’s been popping out for 20 years! The only thing that helps to reduce repeated dislocations is exercise and being fit - I once gone full 2 years without dislocating it once, but then I got lazy and it started again. So, in my case, it’s exercise that reduce these horrible dislocations.
@@rushaliganar7142 Nothing too extreme, really. Weights mainly, squatting with weights etc. I also exercise on a yoga ball, do sit ups mainly. I am no expert in anything, but it seems to be working. My last dislocation ( two in fact, a few days apart ) was in January or February.
@@rushaliganar7142 after proper isolation , start with isometric shoulder exercises for 3weeks and then to isotonic and gradually to some weighted exercises . Resistance band is Really great in building back the strength 💯
Wanted to avoid tripping on a cable but ended up tripping, tried to support my heavy self putting my arm against the wall while falling and boom, shoulder dislocated. Thoughts on pain are interesting, mainly because seeing a part of one's body flail or out of its usual place, generally produces panic, and this panic makes the pain much more intense. When the doctor finally put the shoulder back in place, the pain was almost the same (decreasing), but the calmness brought by at least having my shoulder back in its place again was extremely soothing. Overall, a great learning experience and shoulder is where it should be :) (Also, a great opportunity to be grateful about so many things we take for granted, like hospitals, doctors, people that helped me go through it, and the fact we can learn scientifically advanced concepts at the tip of our fingers) EDIT: I also passed out around 2 times. So, yes, pain is damn intense like Peter says.
@@amystephanie1267 Even after 7 months, it still has not healed fully and muscle atrophy is evident, since I haven't used those shoulder muscles for a while. But luckily, improving.
I am sore for 24 hours, the pain is do bad I have to pop my shoulder back in myself and that takes away most of the pain. I must get to a doctor as it's happening more frequently now.
My left shoulder dislocation caused while swimming in Dam , i flipped back on stone and hand didn't landed perfectly on water and caused dislocation. Be aware while swimming brothers
Same happened to me , a 3 meter wave pushed me to a rock and hitted it hard, its been 2 weeks wearin a sling and i likely need a physiotherapy, as the doctor said, but it needs atleast 1 month and a half to 3 months to fully heal, its my first time , but you need to avoid weird shoulder movements, im lucky its the left shoulder not right, also im 16
It’s so hard for me to sleep comfortably I’ve dislocated my shoulder 3 times this month and because of the COVID I’m getting sick of going to the hospital but I can barely move around
I've dislocated my right shoulder the 14th time this morning. It's been over 5 years since it last dislocated though. I'm 32 but not going to do surgery because from what I've gathered from my elders is even after surgery It's likely to have issues. I'm looking into the prp treatment. My best advice for anyone is stay stabilizing your shoulder. I dislocated my shoulder twice in one day. After I healed up I set out to build up my shoulders chest and back as strong as possible. I slacked off for about 18 months now I'm back on RU-vid looking up videos about this. I'm going to get my upper body back right and go for this prp treatment. I blame myself but God's will this will never happen again.
I had a seizure due to a bad reaction to chemotherapy about a week ago, I fell and dislocated my shoulder on the same arm I have a pick line in. They set it pretty easily in the ER but I haven't been able to move my arm at all without a fair amount of pain. I figured I'd be out of it for a couple of weeks but it's good to know for sure that's it's a common period of time. 👍💪🙏Thanx
I sublexed my shoulder surfing two days ago. I had arthoscopic surgery done 3 years ago. As much as I'm losing hope, i still have a healthy left. I guess Bethany Hamilton is my inspiration now. This is the second time I've re-injured my shoulder post-surgery. I did the same thing surfing last year and I swam half a mile with my arm out of socket in really big surf. I'd say that experience was more traumatic but I still woke up with that familiar pins and needles loosey-goosey shoulder pain.
Just dislocated mine on the boogie landing a big air in the flats about a week ago. Can still paddle without pain, but am sketched to try any more tricks. Guess I just gotta stick to getting barreled only for the nex couple months. 37 years on the boog and this is my first real injury.
Fel in the snow and subluxed my shoulder too. Am glad to hear you can swim pretty far with a f-ed up shoulder because I'm training for a half iron man this year. At least, I was planning to. I still say I am, but this arm has got to get better. It's been 8 weeks of dysfunction and varying amounts of pain. I swim anyhow, but not anywhere near what I should. Not sure how Im going. to be on my bike either. :(
I have dislocated my shoulder 10+ times throughout the years. I've learned how to pop it back in place. Dislocated my shoulder a few hours ago. It hasnt happened in a few years.. My pain usually last about 3-5 days.
I tripped and fell badly against a wall and dislocated my shoulder. I popped it back in my self and went to the dr the next day. His advice was take so ibruprophen for pain..... That was it. No sling, no recommendation to see a physio or anything. I told him i work in a library and do a lot of manual lifting and moving. He suggested i get back to my regular duties as soon as i could. He did say i could get an xray but it would be mostly soft tissue damage and wouldn't show up any way. .....i think i might go see a physio any way....
I turned 46 on Saturday, and on my way out to a party, I rolled my ankle and put my shoulder through a railing which pulled the shoulder out one way, then as I fell and my arm was still through the railing, it yanked the shoulder in the other direction. The pain was unreal. It is 4 days later, and I have no feeling in my shoulder, and I can only move my arm from the elbow down. Upper arm, I can't move orlys lift my - it is like it is paralysed. It is 4 weeks until my physio appointment. I'm on painkillers which do work, but i feel groggy.

@@balkrishnasharma59 you need to have surgery for ur shoulder. multiple dislocation leads to bone damage. please discuss with some good orthopedic surgeon. Dont wait any furter.
Mine happened in my sleep last night. Woke up still dreaming basically wondering why my arm hurt. I eventually popped it back in and went to bed lol. Got up and suffered through work no sling no meds
I dislocated my right shoulder on 7/8. It turned out to be an anterior dislocation but I also fractured my humeral head and have a hill sachs lesion. I’m on day 7 and still in a good amount of pain and bruising that’s dark purple and red all the way down on my forearms to just past my elbow.
I dislocated my shoulder 3 months ago and am finally able to sleep more than 3 hours a night in my bed. Before I had to sleep in a soft chair most of the time. The pain is getting better and I exercise the arms. I still canNot put arm back or up high but I am beginning to feel more hopeful I am 81 years old.
Dislocated my right shoulder last night (Sunday 21 August 2022). Fourth time now. Four times in a year. I think I may have torn muscles because the pain is excruciating but manageable if I put my arm in certain ‘right’ places… can’t afford surgery that’s for sure so will go on… Btw…I was done with hospitals so went on RU-vid and showed my sister a technique…we tried it once, didn’t work…tried it twice, it worked… yaaay, saved myself $4000 and 8 hours in the ER…
My shoulder dislocated over a month ago after a fall. I am still in extreme pain. Have been told to wear a sling to bed, but that just keeps me awake with the pain.
I dislocated my shoulder while skating down a huge hill and got speed wobbles then fell into grass and rolled on my shoulder and heard a pop. Yikes I’m freaking out for
I once had a dislocated shoulder and it took me 30 minutes to receive medical attention. I wore a sling for 3 days and went back to work 7 Days later. I work in the warehouse mostly moving boxes so it didn't take my shoulder no time to heal. That was 7 months ago my shoulder is back to normal but I'm still feeling a small pain in my muscles but it slowly healing it's a long process. So when they say it takes about a year to completely heal, that's about accurate.
I was screaming in the hospital like ww2 soldiers who lost their feet... For 5 hours... They said since you ate we can't do total anesthesia,we have to wait😢 😭
Dislocated my right one 5 days ago, although I'm feeling pretty good now, I can feel strength returning. The first 2 days after relocation were painful, but now it's very mild and tolerable. I notice mostly pain in the humerus, but I think those are from the hairline fractures I also got as a result from the injury.
What you're feeling is the muscles healing . when you dislocate your shoulder your muscle stretches trying to support the weight of the bone. I dislocated my shoulder 7 to 8 months ago and I'm a healthy black athletic male and my muscles and my shoulder are still a little sore at times. They say it takes 1 year for your shoulder to completely heal, I absolutely believe what they say.
@@christopherboydandmartinsc9322 Hello, I'm fine now and have since recovered completely, no chronic issues. Fortunately, I did not require surgery. I was extremely worried about needing keyhole surgery to fix lingering instability/pain I felt for a few months after, but the healing process saw to that. It just takes time, in my case 9 months before my shoulder was strong and ready again. I was 30 years old at the time when it happened, which a physician said may have helped. Told me cartilage around the socket gets more malleable or something as you get old and not as prone to chronic shoulder instability/dislocation like in young adults. I take you may have dislocated your shoulder too? I hope you are doing okay friend, I know it sucks.
Mine popped out almost three weeks ago, and it was a clean reset, but boy, is it uncomfortable. I'm using heat twice a day as I work it a little by little.
1 1st dislocated my shoulder when I was 17 from a fight. Very painful. At the hospital they injected me with anaesthetia. Put me to sleep. Woke up later with my shoulder in a sling. Im 50 now. injured my shoulder again From riding my EUC Electric and 6weeks ago. Off work for 6weeks. No surgery this time. Just xrays. Was in a sling for 2weeks. Starting physio nextweek. My shoulder feels good. Healed faster than from my 1st dislocation.
Dislocated my I fell on my shoulder I've been wearing a sling and icing it it's been 6 days and I've been doing a castor oil pack with some heat and i be honest its really helping with the pain and I can only lift my arm very little but day by day hopefully get back to some normal range of motion
@@SamyWaine if its been continuous no , If you are working out and rehab and recover little bit then dislocate again. Its hell of a pain. I am a strong individual I never thought that my eyes will go blank with that kind of pain you get.
I’ve dislocated my shoulder more than 10x now. Both. Excruciating pain every time. I will need to address it and have surgery sooner than later I’m 29 years old. No sports. Most of the time it’s from movements reaching back.
I've had multiple spontaneous dislocations in both shoulders, and each time, it was caused by normal movement, too. Unfortunately, the rotator cuff surgery failed, and I'll probably need surgery again after it happened again yesterday.
poped mine out boxing day 6 days ago. sling off in 2 days let arm just hang been getting better rapidly. I'm going for 2 weeks fully healed easy half way there now pain is a 1 now... initially a 5.....start movement get the sling off . motocross crash over the front bars over big jump bike malfunction..53 years old still bounce 82kgs
I just recently dislocated my left shoulder while watching this video, it happened when i scratched my back, i then put it back in quickly.. i dislocated my shoulder so many times since 4 years ago up to now.. my advice is that if you dislocated your shoulder, you should quickly put it back in as quickly as you can to reduce the pain.. well that's my experiance..
Hello Dr. D. Geier, It was a freak accident in E. Berlin in a Air BnB apartment which had (mysteriously) super-sleek tiles and super super sleek two feet deep bathtub. Even with rubberized shoes, you could slip in an instant if not careful to ground your feet. As I came out of shower with my left foot outside the tub, I lifted my right foot from the inside the tub and in a split second, my left foot went under and my body flung over to the left, slamming onto the tiles and left hand outstretched, landing on it, my left shoulder dislocated and I screamed with the worst pain of my life, tipped over 360 inadvertently from pain and crawled to the door handle to open the door to alert my family what has just happened. I was in the severest form of pain and my pain tolerance is very high. I have never taken analgesics of narcotic level in my life. I would rather suffer than block the symptom. First day in Germany and in a strange place, it took 45 minutes for the ambulance to arrive, and then 30 min ride to hospital. during all this time, I walked from the room to downstairs and to the ambulance as I clutched my left arm tucked tight against my left flank and belly, right hand holding it tightly along and the first set of x-rays that came out showed that the humeral head had already settled back in the socket and the LT shoulder did not look DISLOCATED. My grits and experience dealing with dislocations came handy. They put me in a sling, which has been 5 days so far.I have started hydro-therapy in jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. The clotted blood has started oozing out from the deep space and out to the skin along the biceps and little along triceps as well as axillary wall. I guess this is the normal process. My shoulder does not feel unstable but any abduction beyond 15-20 degrees causes pain. Had MRI and waiting for the results. I am sure there are soft tissue damages. My questions to you are... (1) In jacuzzi, I have been able to release my shoulder to almost 90 degree abduction w/o much pain. Should I continue doing this? I basically tested out my limits, as I do after any injury and subsequent immobilization. Doing this outside jacuzzi, causes intense pain. (2) Soon after I returned from my first session, I noticed a slight reddish purple hue along my biceps and after the night, more had creeped under the skin. Does this hematomous blood eventually get absorbed into the circulation? Is there any specific astringent or ointment suggested to expedite this? (3) Today being sixth day, I have tried to remain outside the sling more and more. Is this OK? As I have stated earlier, I do not have any instability. I will appreciate your feedback.
It's been 3 to 4 mos . I have no insurance and can't afford a MRI . I can't not put my hand behind my back ! I'm just now able to raise up but still not completely yet I still have a criest when I raising my hand. I went to the er just this month they only did a x-ray and want me to follow up with a MRI somewhere else! I have no idea why they could t just do it. My neck bone to my shoulder bone hurts.
Unbelievably painful, happened a month and a few days ago and I’m still sore and stiff. Upper arm is still swollen. Happened while I was leaving work and slipped down the stairs and reached my arm out to grab the railing.
I had it and it doesn’t hurt massively now but I still get pain 1yr after surgery and I can do most things but can’t put full force into things with that side arm/shoulder
@@lovelyoungman Hey, ironically I ended up dislocating the same shoulder again last summer, and decided to get labrum repair surgery. The surgery is quick, but recovery is rough cause you’re super stiff and limited in motion. PT will help you tremendously though. Im currently 9 months post op, I feel really good, some soreness at times but it’s normal. I’ve been able to start lifting weights again, swing a golf club at the range and throw as well. I haven’t played any contact sports yet but I’ve got my final check up in August and the surgeon has told me that I should be able to return to any activity with no worries afterwards. I’ve had a few falls on ice throughout the recovery but I felt fine after. The process is definitely long and you get most of your range of motion back afterwards. Overall I feel great!
However I will say, before I got hurt again and went for surgery I was definitely fine. I was lifting heavy, and didn’t seem to feel any pain. Just at times felt a bit of stress on my shoulder if I was benching heavy. Unless you’re doing heavy activity I feel like you should be okay as long as you rehab and strengthen your shoulder. But I’ve heard of cases where people will dislocate again from simply drying themselves with a towel. It’s all about how you feel but I’d recommend rehabbing for sure and strengthening yourself if you’re worried about it and don’t wanna opt for surgery.
I dislocated my shoulder 2days ago,i felt from at icing road while i tried to reach i near by parked car and my shoulder pop out,unbelievable pain,now i can't workout i cant go to work almost couldn't sleep...i really wish it never happened,
Subluxation 2 days ago. I had it back in myself after a fall missing a rut on my dirt bike physio was reluctant to give out a sling, it's mostly rest and rehab she was mostly thinking the sling isn't gonna help training back the shoulder.. From sweden
No my 80 years old and I am skinny and I injure my rotor cup obviously it’s very painful but now after the first x-ray it looks worse I’ll be in there the roller cover it looks like it’s cracked a little bit more the first x-ray it was cracked a little bit but now little bit more I’ve been in a sling and then out of the slaying and that’s what happened
I just dislocated my shoulder for the 4th time. Usually it pops back in by moving it around but this is the 1st time I’ve had to go to the ER to pop it back. Hopefully no surgery
My shoulder dislocated while throwing a punch with wild force the pain is so damn intense can't explain it and can't sleep by the pain waking up awake and distracting yourself by using mobile is the only solution now
Dr. I’ve got a question. I tore my labrum, broke the head of the humerus bone, and dislocated my right shoulder. I’ve been in an immobilized sling for over a month now. For the last week, I’ve been doing pendulum swings gently. On top of that 2 weeks after my initial surgery, I broke another part of my shoulder. Well tonight I was wringing out a shirt and felt a pop. My question really now is a. How much longer should I be stiff in my shoulder/shoulder blade area, b. Why does my bicep and tendon in my arm hurt and finally c. When do you recommend an individual like myself to start Physical Therapy along with working with a massage therapist/reflexologist?
It’s Lit keep your palms on your chest while sleeping on your back. I assume that you popped it back into place. If the shoulder is actively dislocated trust me you will not be able to sleep until you put it back in place... Ha ha. Memories
If it popped out and right back in from force is this better that it having stayed out or done it on its own or is it all the same stress done to the area ?
My arm did that too but It put itself back in place. Not a good idea to leave it like that tho I should have gotten it checked out because two days ago I dislocated it completely. Xrays were gnarly lol. Stay safe hope ur recovery is going good
I dislocated my shoulder one month ago. Still in pain, especially during the night and cannot lift my arm. Having physio tomorrow and awaiting results from an MRI scan.
I dislocated my shoulder Monday by a fall on the ice when I was in Maine and I am over the road truck driver and it happen to be the arm I shift with but I feel I am going be a fast healer it's only been 5 days and I can almost put my arm behind my back still hurt if i stretch it far or raise it but getting better every day I am hard nose had my shoulder dislocated Monday I was back to driving my truck Tues I also never had a broken bone or should dis placement and I am 65 I been blessed with my health not breaking any bones in my life
I dislocated my left shoulder like 5 years ago and it is still hurting. And like 5 week ago it poped out again. How do i stop it from getting dislocated without the sling cauce i dont like them
Am 23 , I dislocated my right shoulder yesterday on a skateboard ramp . I already dislocated my left shoulder 5 years back and it pops out around 10times after that and was a real confidence killer , but after that I realized the importance of proper warmup right before practice. I use some muscle spary so that muslces get warmedup faster and a wear good shoulder brace too , after doing these I can forget about the injury and get my confidence back 💯 . I didn't do any surgery all I did was doing small intesity shoulder movements and later build some muslce building exercises. Now my right one is gone too , let continue the same process a see how it goes ✌️
I dislocated my left shoulder on a skateboard ramp two days ago. First time it ever happened and I popped it straight back in. I'm using a sling and just trying not to do too much with it. I'm not in great amounts of pain, but I have smaller range of motion, mainly lifting my arm above my head is difficult. Does this sound similar to your experience? I mainly feel pain down my arm, not necessarily right in the shoulder so assume this is more muscle/nerve/ligament damage as a result.
@@SilentJaz yeah once it's get dislocated overhead positions are less stable so don't go overhead without control and against the pain , use low tension resistance band to strengthen your shoulders . , proper rest time is important at least 3months doing just physiotherapy . Proper shoulder warmup is necessary to avoid further dislocation while practice and try to swipe the body in the direction of fall instead of opposing against the force with your hands while falling
yeah it do happen sometime.. alot of those area.. just don't deep enough for body to start heal... but good thing is my is light and i sleep on my arm all the time... so that pain don't mean much anything... just had hard time getting thing in high shelf hard.. but i just used the other arm... and i start to used it more normally and it do feel fine.. don't know how people who hit hard going to do since clearly it won't take longer...
I dislocated and fractured my shoulder 13weeks ago I'm still in pain can't lift my arm above shoulder height without pain. Definitely can't put my arm to my back can only sleep on my back still with pain help.....
I dislocated my shoulder a week ago. Still fling pain on my shoulder and numbness on my forearm and litle and ring finger. After a week i remove my shoulder sling. Still feeling pain on my shoulder, and numbness
I dislocated my shoulder 2 times the first time after they popped it back i just used a sling, the second time i has to rehab to recover faster and strengthen my shoulder and that was about 6 years ago haven’t dislocated it since because i started lifting weights and strengthened my entire body but i still don’t have the full range of motion.. I usually go or hostilic therapy specifically needling, that brings back the full range of motion for a good while 2-3 months i’d say then it stiffens up again so i have to do needling again and again but other than that it’s perfectly fine with no dislocations ever since
My 15 yr old son dislocated his shoulder 3 days ago. Orthopedic/Rehab appointment will be weeks from now. What exercise do you recommend to do for now? He’s still sore but overall ok
I dislocated my left shoulder yesterday for the 6th time since 2005. I'm 36 years old. I woke up and I was stretching my arms and my left shoulder popped out. I went to the ER like usual but by the time I got there the pain was so bad because it has already been 3 hours by the time they tried to put it back in. Usually they try by giving me some pain medication and something to relax me. That didn't work as usual so they put me under a twilight sleep but my shoulder was still resisting. So I had to wait another 4 or 5 hours until an orthopedic doctor got there and I was taken to the OR and put under general anesthesia. The doctor said once i was asleep it went in very easily. I have an appointment to meet with him in 2 weeks to discuss my recovery and future surgery to repair my shoulder so it doesn't come out doing routine activities. In the summer of 2016 was the last time I dislocated my shoulder and I had an MRI done. The MRI showed either a hill Sachs lesion or the berkhart lesion, I can't remember which one. I didn't get surgery last time because I'm not active in playing sports like I was when I was younger. However it's starting to pop out doing routine everyday day activities. Also the pain of dislocsting my shoulder is very severe and i do not want to go through that pain again. It's really painful after about an hour of it being out of socket. Do you think it's a good decision to have the surgery to fix my recurrent shoulder dislocations?
Gordon Adams i just dislocated my right shoulder last night any rhing u can help me with plz and any tips and ehats the best way to get threw this cheers plz reply
Jake Allen Is it back in place? Im guessing it is. Keep it in a sling for 2 weeks. Do some small movements with your shoulder but dont bring your arm up too high or behind you. Once its put back in place I barely have any pain.
Dislocated my shoulder while bicycling. The pain was intense but once they popped it back in it felt worlds better. My only question is how long until I can start exercising again? Because I want to start immediately even though it hasn't even been a week. But the doctors make it sound like you must do nothing at all. Will moving the arm prevent proper healing? Or will moving the arm help healing? It's frustrating that doctors won't give all the information and instead treat the patient like we are children.
I’m sorry, but I can’t legally answer medical questions and offer medical advice online. I have created thousands of articles and videos that discuss almost any musculoskeletal injury that should help you.
I had a dislocated shoulder for 2 years... doctors took an xray and mri and had no clue what was going on... went to a chriopractor today and only told him my left side ofmy body obthers me the most and he immediately saw the problem without touching me, he warmed up my nerves and popped my arm back in.. it hurt like hell.. can't say i'm back at 100% but i do feel a lot more better than any day since september 2nd of 2018. Doctors are so dumb sometimes.. before you do any surgeries or anything.. waste any resources first like and get as many consultations as possible before making a surgery decision
I had a dislocated shoulder almost 3 years ago and I still have pain I think they brought a nerve but I do not have health insurance so I guess I will be like this I don’t know for how long
I dislocated my shoulder a week and 2 days ago in a dirtbike crash. Still super sore but much better already. I felt like I was in less pain taking the sling off. Ibuprofen 800s and a little rest is all you need. I work construction so I'm strong and my shoulders are built so maybe easier to recover in my case.

I fell off my bike today 25th feb 2024. Went down on my right shoulder. I thought I broke it so I pushed up on both arms and it popped back in within 30 seconds. 1st time for everything but now it feels like a really bruised pain. What do people think??

I’ve been in a sling for 5 days. All day long even when I’m sleeping. Today is day 5 and I found this video. I’m aggravated wearing the sling and feeling hopeless so I’m eating my dinner without it and I’ll put it back on anyone start feeling new pains after a few days collarbone hurts chest pains and back and leg pains all a sudden ?
My shoulder pain after playing badminton, it is strange pain in middle side of shoulder ( what is it main reason , no mri had happen till now they are saying to rest only )
When I dislocate my shoulder once I put it back to my amazement its not sore for weeks. I have good range of motion. I still go play football the next day without a sling but I make sure to keep the shoulder close to my side. I guess I'm just used to it. I've dislocated my shoulder like 15 times so it is no more a big deal to me. If it happens I just put it back myself.
