dislocated shoulder bone

red463 · Jul 5, 2008, 04:59 PM

Hi

I am male, 23 years old, I was the attention of a mob attack 6 months ago, now during the course of the experience a cop tried to help me but was pushed over and he fell on me, now this was quite a well built, stocky fellow, and I land on my left shoulder with both his and my weight on it, the shoulder got dislocated then and I had to pop it back in while still engrossed in the shenanigan, now yesterday morning I was playing basketball, and I happened to put my left hand out to stop the fellow (yeah it was a foul

) he pushed it away with his body and guess what? The shoulder pops outta place again, I put it back in socket, and then move out, now what I am worried is will it stop me from playing and enjoying my life? and will it keep happening often?
Is there any thing I can do about it?

PS:
I am looking for the punk who fell on me

Whatever became of your MRI? I take it that surgery at that time was unnecessary. I am kind of surprised that you take that kind of risk to possibly seriously damage your shoulder again. A 3rd dislocation in such a short period of time..... I am at a lose for words.

well they said surgery wasnt necessary but wanted me to avoid any activity for about 1-2 years, cumon, I am 23 and have always been active, I guess now I understand they were serious, what do I do now?

Most patients ( under the age of 30 ) sustain what is called a Bankart Lesion but without knowing your specifics only your orthopedic surgeon can submit to you any qualified answers on the subject. I am also very active and can remember not heeding a doctors medical advise. Mine being a bit less serious than your situation but there is a time when good common sense has to take over. Follow your doctors warnings before you create an injury that may wind up being of a permanent nature. Take care of yourself, NOONE else can do it for you.

Well I met up the doctor again with my new MRI, he says that its a torn labrum, and he was pretty pushy that I get surgery, so I have added that my to do list.. he asked me to take care about how I use my shoulder until then, like avoid heavy bench presses, wide push ups etc.

Good to hear from you again red463. Just be careful with your shoulder until after your surgery.
