What is the best way to heal a dislocated
shoulder? Last night my boyfriend fell
off a motorcycle & dislocated his
shoulder. He poped it right in but is
terrible pain....Any suggestions on how to
take care of it and avoid a bigger
injury????

I've dislocated my shoulder many times.
There are a few things that could have
happened. The ligaments could have been
torn, which is very bad, and you won't be
able to tell unless you go to a doctor
about it. The other possibility is that
the ligaments are just stretched, which is
better. Either way it may require
surgery to get fixed up. For the
immediate pain though, I recommend icyhot.
I'm having my shoulder ligaments
reattached, and the recovery time is about
6 months. I'm sure thats not what he's
going to want to do, but it is the only
way to repair it. It isn't urgent to get
repaired though, it could be done
immediately, or it could be done ten years
from now. I hope this has helped
somewhat, if you have questions my email
is ph34r.1

I strongly recommand seeing a doctor .
Shoulder joint is most commonly dislocated
inferiorly (downwards).

I dis-located my collar bone, where it
connects with the shoulder, just take
advil, to help keep down the swelling.
Also ice it, or use the icey hot like
stated above.
