you have to relocate it dipshit
but I did
physical therapy
have them show you exercises to heal and strengthen yourself, develop a solid mind muscle connection and you can stop going after a few weeks and do the rest on your own. you will basically be rehabilitating yourself for the rest of your life
i got electrostim therapy as well, idk if it did much but i liked it
all estim does is block pain signals for a while
that explains why i liked it
high chance you will always have problems with it now
Start strengthening the musculature around it to help keep it stable. Just be aware it's probably going to be easier for it to pop out again. So you'll have to be careful with what activities you do.
so no more boxing?
Do what you want, but just be aware that heavy dynamic loads will probably cause that shoulder to pop out again at some point. If you want to keep going, emphasize strengthening the rotator cuff, delts, and all the other muscles to increase stability.
Ligaments are now stretched and more likely to pop again. Focus on stability work. After multiple pops, surgery is the only solution
not possible. once you have shoulder injury its literally over. i stopped doing bench, dips, etc. like 3 years ago. luckily it has only made me physique better lol. just need to be mindful of exercise selection, light weight and correct form. correct form meaning the form that allows you to do it without discomfort. now one that allows you to lift most weight or le best hypertrophy.
do you have a workout plan? since I might be unable to so some lifts for the rest of my life I'd like to know what I can and can't do
I would kill myself if I couldn't bench or do dips
Start using bands to build up your shoulder strength and stability around the socket but like most anons said, once it pops it's going to want to pop again.
Lay down on your stomach on a desk with your arm dangling off and gravity will eventually pull it into position.
Alternatively, have someone jam it back in place.
>does it ever go back to normal?
yes. I did a bad dislocation when I fell of my motorcycle at the track. I was able to pop it back in by accident when I fell off my bike again back in the pits (the pain was so intense I lost my balance getting off my bike and my hand was cramped into a hook and as I fell off I could not let go of the handle bars with the dislocated arm and my body weight pull my arm straight and it went back into place. it was a 15 out of 10 on the pain chart for a brief instant until with sent back into place. Once back in it was not too bad. A boat load of ibuprophen it was ok the rest of the day and I was very careful with it. I took about four weeks off froma any exercise and then very slowly with light weight started over head press and lateral raises. It took about a year to get about 90%, then about another year to get about 95%, the the third year about 97%. It was a tad weak for about three to four years but eventually through careful weight lifting, stretching ROM movement its back to normal. I injured it in about 2005 I think, now no problems. I probably should have sought some physical therapy for a better approach but eh, so what.
you didn't have any further dislocations?
Unfortunately once a ligament is stretched beyond its capacity e.g a dislocation, it doesn't have the blood supply to fully remodel back to the way it was originally formed. The good news is, that with focused strength training you can build stability around the compromised ligament and decrease the severity and frequency of further dislocations/symptoms in the future
Yo onions un hombre dislocado
How I healed:
Facepulls: plate loaded and at home for as often as possible
Baseball batting cages with softball tees
Boxing with an aqua bag
Swinging a big 10 lb mace
And at physical therapy I learned these 2lb 5lb exercises to do on a bench with straight scapula.
The problems are always there but they become ever more subtle. The crunching always crunches but it went from crumpling homework to sand in an hourglass crunch intensity.
