Dislocated shoulder bone
Hi
I am male, 23 years old, I was the attention of a mob attack 6 months ago, now during 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 :mad:) he pushed it away with his body and guess what? The shoulder pops out of 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

A joint dislocation can be one of the most painful injuries if not reset in a timely manner. Shoulder dislocations will stretch the shoulder, upper arm, and torso muscles, causing intense pain. An initial dislocation will cause the body to release endorphins to reduce pain and shock, but once the endorphin rush is gone, a dislocated shoulder will continue to cause severe muscle aches.
Shoulder Dislocation - Dislocated Shoulder, Glenohumeral Dislocation
If you haven't, as of yet, I would recommend you make an appointment with your family physician as soon as possible. Or if need be go to the ER and have your shoulder examined. This type of injury is not something you want to let go untreated.

I went to see a doctor today, he wants me to get an MRI scan, and then he said maybe we'll need surgery, is it true?

It sounds like when you dislocated your shoulder the first time this has damaged surrounding 'soft tissues' - that's all the tendons, muscles, things like that. This in turn has lead to a further easy dislocation. Occasionally, an MRI is needed to further access any damage that may have occurred when the shoulder dislocated. The MRI can determine if a tear of the anterior inferior labrum has occurred. The tear can be associated with a small bony fragment of the shoulder socket ( Glenoid).

I am not yet there, but does it make sense to go in surgery for this?
I've heard that you can never get back the old flexibility after a surgery??

My sister fell off her horse and dislocated her shoulder, and she is able to use it just as well as before.
Are we to understand that you're looking for the "punk" cop who accidentally fell on you while trying to help you escape the mob? I hope when you find him you thank him...

Being perfectly honest with you, anyone can lend you overwhelming information as to why and why not elect surgery. Probably the best information is from someone who has gone through the same situation as you. Hopefully, this will lend you much needed insight to a very tough but necessary discission.

Do your research, get as much information as you can, then get a little more. Remember, we all have but one body for a life-time. Do what you feel is right for you. Let us know how things turn out.
Goo-Luck to you.

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... I am at a lose for words.

Well they said surgery wasn't 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 it's 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.

I have the same problem after a car accident. My shoulder pops out if I move it the wrong way. I pop it back in very painful and doesn't get less painful after multiple times doing it.
