Dislocated shoulder

Hey man! I've dislocated my shoulder 10 times, and just had surgery on it back in Feb. It really depends on how long it was out for, and what kinda dislocation you had. After a month my shoulder would start feeling better. Make sure to exercise it when you get the okay, you don't want to screw it up again. I should of had surgery sooner, but we put it off. If you tore anything or chipped the humerus, the doctor may recommend surgery. Best of luck.

thanks. it was an anterior dislocation (moved forwards and down) but based on the xrays, it looks like it was pretty far out. and it was out for like 45 minutes total (because fuckin patrol couldnt/wouldnt put it back in when i got to them so i had to take a van to the clinic in town)

I've dislocated my left playing hockey and it really fucked me up. Now if I do certain movements my shoulder will partially dislocate. It's super painful and there is really no fix. It's happened playing basketball, skiing, soccer, and hockey and seems to happen at random times. I work out to make it stronger but once it pops out once it will be more and more prone to keep dislocating it.

That was how my last one was. Sounds like it wasn't out for too terribly long, but still some time. (Try four hours in my case) Those are usually "clean" dislocations, but you can still get a labrum tear from them. It's gonna bother you for some time, hopefully it heals up good. Wear your sling and go to an ortho doc just to be sure it's okay.

The first time you dislocate a shoulder is about the worst pain on Earth, worst I've ever felt anyways.
it will never ever be the same after, but it won't hurt as bad because everything has been stretched out.
I dislocated my left shoulder for the first time skiing in 2010. I was out of socket about for about 3 hours from the time it happened til the time the ER reset it.
I went through 3 weeks of PT and started skiing again.
It comes out a lot. When I lay in bed at night I can pop it in and out of socket.

This past winter I dislocated my right shoulder for the first time while snowboarding.
I forgot how much it hurt. Luckily with my WFR training I was able to reset it by myself right on the spot.

I was just about to make a similar post. I dislocated my shoulder 2 years ago skateboarding, 12 more dislocations followed before I had surgery. 2 months in a sling and 3 more of physical therapy led me to 2 really awesome ski seasons before it dislocated again over spring break this year. My doctor recommended a second surgery, that would have more like 9 months of total recovery/rehab time... so I'm trying to avoid that if possible. I'm coming to realize that this is a problem that will be with me forever, so I'm just working to get as strong as I possibly can.

There are no rotator cuff muscles on the front of your shoulder, so it's pretty easy to dislocate out the front. I cope by wearing a shoulder brace that makes that range of motion impossible and I think it really has saved me a bunch of times. Also, I have learned how to instinctively cross my arms across my chest when I fall and that helps too.

Blake.Pi want a professional opinion, not just a physician

I dislocated my shoulder & bruised 2 lower vertebrae in my back the day before I was headed up to whistler to finish off my season. I told my doctor that no matter what i was going to ride at Whistler and fight through the pain. I wore my brace and took some vicadine and rode out the weekend. (stupiedist idea ever)but I never needed surgery. Took me about 2 weeks afterthe trip before I had total movement in my shoulder. Shit happens take it easy pop a couple advil and chill in a hot tub with some babes. You will be back before you know it

I'm going to be honest. once you dislocate your shoulder the first time it will NEVER be 100% again. physically or mentally. even after surgery and PT it's just not the same. you just gotta live conscious of your problem and keep your elbow close to your body.

probably the worst injury i've ever had. took years before it felt close to 100% again...

maybe not the best way to phrase it. i want a specialist's opinion, not just a general physician. hence why im gonna see an ortho...
