Dude, are you sure everything is properly in place? Do you have any type of tingling or numbness in your arm/fingers? Is it a dull throbbing pain or a sharp sting? It is quite common (so I've heard) for shoulder dislocations/subluxations to pinch nerves and such. Permenant damage can result. You're prolly fine I just wanted to throw this out. FYI, this is all coming from a guy with a fair amount of metal hardware in his left shoulder.
Get an MRI first.
Then see specialist and he can see what happened to the soft tissue.
Says the guy with mulitple dislocations and two shoulder surgeries.
If you damaged your labrium (The soft tissue which holds the bone in place), which is what I did, you'll want to get this fixed before constantly popping it in and out multiple times does additional damage.
Also PT can do a lot to solve the problem if your doctor doesn't see extensive soft tissue damage.
I did not read the whoel reply because I just got out of shoulder surgery the other day myself and had I gone to the doctor after my first dislocation 5 years ago, I would have had about 20 less dislocations and they would not have had to anchor cartilege back to my bone that I ripped off. This surgery is a bitch because I did not go in after the first dislocation. The doctor said after one dislocate you more often than not, need to slight capsular shift to at least tighten up the tendons you stretch out. Anyways, I am on drugs and make no sense.
I'm typing one handed as a result of having shoulder surgery for torn cuff and labrum from a ski fall (it's all in gimp central). get it mri'd and looked at by an ortho/specialist.
I dislocated my right shoulder skiing two years ago. I had it reduced in the ER. I never had any formal PT, just informal stuff. I have limited problems with it now. I am able to climb, etc, without difficulty. But I am always aware of certain motions and anatomical tweaking that can cause it to dislocate again.
Most surgeons won't consider surgery until several dislocations have occurred. Hopefully that won't be an issue for you.
ok
shoulder may have mildky discoed but better is the
fracture of the humeral tuberoscity
the end of the arm at the shoulder, maybe a slight tear in the RC but most likely just agitated from the break
immoble at least 4 weeks before PT even starts.
should not of had it out of the sling @ all.
gimp talk here on out
thanks
Looks like you're going to have to amputate.

He gave me loads of good advice when I did the same thing on a mountain bike last summer. PT 3 days/week for 5 weeks did me a world of good to recover it back to 95%.
