Shoulder Dislocation After-Care

hi thank you for this video it was a big help for my shoulder and arm recovery, God Bless

Thanks fpr the info .

Thanx was helpful

I had an anterior dislocation at 45 yrs old by a 6-7' fall. Had MRI/X-Ray, had labral tear and Hill-Sachs fracture of about 4mm. First dr "recommended" surgery or I could try PT. If a doctor "recommends surgery, always always always (x3) get that second opinion. Spend the copay, it was well worth it for me as I'm avoiding surgery and almost caved in to the first Dr's "recommendation". Got second opinion, and that dr said he would only recommend PT and almost never does surgery under my curcumstances and age. Stayed in a sling for a month, minus showers and some couch time where i could rest it. All the muscles around the shoulder are super stiff. Did certain mobility movements to keep anything from "locking up" during the sling process. Showering, sleeping, getting dressed, doing anything, was really tough for at least the first month to month and a half. Especially sleeping and trying to find an almost impossible neutral position for the shoulder. Woke up a couple different times in radiating pain after a strong cough or weird movement that irritated the shoulder. Felt like it was never going to improve. Its a long process, but you must be patient. Doing 8 werks of PT, and its been a challenge to get loose, but progress is happening within the first few weeks but expect pain and to be pushed. Expect it to feel like something is broken in yoir shoulder. Lots of inflammation and uneasiness. Stay with it, and respect the healing process, try not to overdo anything when home. If its too much after PT, I took a couple ibuprofen to minimize the inflammation. The general fear is that you are going to immediately dislocate it again either at home or at PT. At the age of 45, the PT person told me tgat everything is so tight that it would pretty much never happen, and the goal is to regain mobility so that I can reach my shoulder up and out fully again. Ive had good progress the first few weeks at PT. Some days at PT are rough and you either cant do any stretching exercises on the next off day or two otherwise you will get zero sleep. That will be the challenge. Try to keep stretching while still being able to sleep. Again, its a slow process. Im not so sure Ill have "full mobility" by the 8 week mark, but will continue with what im doing. Try sleeping on opposite side with pillow support between knees and also letting shoulder rest on pillow somewhere between body and arm (will be completely up to how you like it). Best to keep the shoulder flat on the bed and use one thick and firm pillow on your neck. Ive noticed that anything touching my shoulder or pressing against it irritates it. Expect to be woken up earlier than usual by achiness. You should start seeing slow improvements very little each day. I do recommend supplements such as Vitamin C, D, Zinc, K2, Omega 3, Collagen, MSM, Turmeric (to decrease inflammation) and plenty of protein. Im on the path to recovery and hope to be back to normal again one day soon but realize its a marathon, not a sprint. Feel fortunate that it's not a head or back injury.

What about a bankart lesion i think with proper physiotherapy and strengthening i will be okay. You think tekar and hyperbolic chamber can help with the rehabilitation

@semirdzananovic i dislocated my shoulder twice last year and then i did a surgery for the shoulder capsule because it was teared and then it happen that i had a contact and felt smth wrong in my shoulder and since that my shoulder not stable and it goes like half way out not full dislocated but half way and then it comes back alone like muscles get cramped and it pull the shoulder back in its place i don’t know what happen and it takes months to have appointment and see a doctor and now i try to do rotation exercises with band and walls and mobilization so u think with those exercises can bring things better or not

Can't do those yet.still sore. Only 10 days.

I am 37 and I was advised by a doctor to wear the sling for 25-30 days. It seems too many days for me as I don't have any pain and I already want to start some recovery exercises (currently at day 7 after the injury). Maybe I should get a second opinion from another doctor?

Hello to all my friends have experienced the same pain as a dislocation

Your telling after surgery or before itself?

I thought a sling would cause frozen shoulder after shoulder reduction

I did my shoulder 10 days ago, threw away the sling after 24 hrs. Im 67, need to get back to mountain biking and weight training asap! Im doing all the isometrics and can rairse my arm right up frontally and abducting it.

Shoulder got dislocated during soccer for the first time. I was lucky and able to have someone (a professional) pop it right back in. Tbh I'm wanted to go back in to play right away but was worried about falling and having to support myself on that side .24 hours in I obviously still have pain but I have pretty decent range of motion. I plan to start range 4 the plan to be back in less than a week. Is this realistic?

Thank you so much Mike for your informative clips. I'm 52, in pretty good shape and I popped my shoulder surfing. I don't think I tore anything major as the recovery has been fairly painless (unlike my other one in which I ripped the rotator cuff). My goal is to get back into surfing at 12 weeks since the injury and I'm working fairly hard on this. Is this a realistic goal?
