Case Summary  |  Dislocated Shoulder


Condition Shoulder Dislocation
Case Description

My shoulder was dislocated during an informal soccer game. I was taken to an emergency room, and they took an x-ray of my shoulder. I was given a pain medication, and the doctor rotated my arm until the bone popped back into my joint. They had me use a sling for a few weeks, and then gave me strengthening exercises. My shoulder is now back to normal, and it has never dislocated again.

3 weeks in a shoulder sling
