Shoulder dislocation Posted: 07-05-08 17:48pm


Hi, I dislocated (anterior) my shoulder about a month ago, left it for five days before having it put back in. It has since dislocated 5 times and my dr is suggesting surgery to have it pinned. If I don't have the surgery would I do any long term damage, also can you get headaches froma dislocated shoulder.

I had my right rotator cuff repaired and pinned due to repeated dislocation. The problem you face by letting it go is the mucscles and ligaments being stretched by the dislocation. Surgery to fix the shoulder is prudent. I have had no further problems with my shoulder and my surgery was 28 years ago. I never experienced headaches associated with the dislocation. It may be possible if there is some tightening of the muscles in the neck. That could trigger a headache. I hope you will consider your options. I don't regret having the surgery and have full use of my arm.
